Dragging himself from a hospital bed, Phineas discovers he wants to be with Jude like a hunger ? and he wants to find her and kill her. Falling for her is the start of a twisted love story that takes him from the snowy streets of Denver to the high plains of Texas where the boundaries between torturer and victim, killer and accomplice, become nightmarishly distorted.Baer, Will Christopher is the author of 'Kiss Me, Judas', published 2006 under ISBN 9781596921863 and ISBN 1596921862.
