"Matthew F. Jones writes part 'Crime and Punishment', part 'Deliverance', and all white knuckle suspense." - People Magazine
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING LUCAS BLACK AND PETER COYOTE
A sexy, psychological thriller about a young man with a mysterious past.
Nat Banyon, young, handsome, and rough around the edges, accidentally stumbles into the shady town of Deepwater. He takes on a painting job at a dingy hotel, and soon afterwards seduces his employer's beautiful wife. But it isn't long before dangerous things begin to happen around town, and Nat isn't sure who's responsible: the desperate wife, her suspicious husband, or Nat himself. Deepwater has all you want from a thriller: sex, murder, fast cars, and a big scary dog.
In his most compelling novel yet, Jones pulls us along a straight edge of terror with two fascinatingly complex characters -- Herman Finch and Nat Banyon will continue to terrify and intrigue, long after the story's end.
