Deceit! Blackmail! . . . And soon enough<br />

there’s a dead body in the pool.”<br />

—The New York Times<br />

“ A mesmerizing read, Ryder’s first<br />

novel is assured and elegant.” —Booklist<br />

“ A modern gothic that emits a<br />

creepy glow . . . with a nicely subdued<br />

In Malice, Quite Close<br />

A Novel<br />

Brandi Lynn Ryder<br />

When French expatriate Tristan Mourault becomes enamored<br />

with fifteen-year-old Karen Miller, he “rescues” her from her<br />

working-class circumstances and stages her death to mask his true<br />

crime. Years later, Karen is now “Gisèle” and lives with Tristan<br />

in rarefied Devon, Washington. She has married another man to<br />

keep up appearances, but when her daughter stumbles upon a secret<br />

cache of paintings—all nudes of Gisèle—Tristan’s carefully curated<br />

world begins to crumble.<br />

Set against a byzantine backdrop of greed, artifice, and manipulation—with<br />

tantalizing echoes of Lolita—In Malice, Quite Close<br />

keeps its most devastating secrets right up until the very last page.<br />
