Overview

Peter Drexler is handsome, charming, and brilliant, and it doesn't take long for Maggie Newman to fall head over heels in love with him. But Peter has a secret-his previous girlfriend, Susan, plunged to her death from a balcony. The police wrote it off as suicide, but Susan's mother, Joanne Ellis, is convinced Peter murdered her. And then there is Peter's beautiful and enigmatic sister, Gail, who for some reason is doing everything she can to break Peter and Maggie up. As Maggie gets closer to Peter, strange and sinister events begin to transpire. But surely she is in no danger from the gentle Peter-or is she? The second novel by Robert Marasco, whose Burnt Offerings (1973) is recognized as a classic of the supernatural, Parlor Games (1979) is a psychological thriller that will keep readers guessing until the end. ""A skillful work of psychological suspense that should keep most readers mystified to the very end."" - Publishers Weekly ""For sheer horror and gut-numbing suspense, it would be difficult indeed to find a scarier book than Robert Marasco's Parlor Games . . . Even scarier than Burnt Offerings . . . Don't read it when you're all alone in the house - please."" - Miami Herald ""An unusual novel of its kind, an unnerving and frightening story."" - Anniston Star ""It's good from page one ... taut, explosive ... a good, solid thriller."" - South Bend Tribune ""[D]ownright chilling. The author is effective in keeping the reader on edge."" - Sacramento Bee
