In this remarkable novel of menace and mystery, Pammy and Lyle Wynant, are an attractive, modern couple who seem to have it all. Yet behind their “ideal” life is a lingering boredom and quiet desperation: their talk is mostly chatter, their sex-life more a matter of obligatory “satisfaction” than pleasure. And still they remain untouched, “players” indifferent to the violence that surrounds them, and that they have helped to create.
