📙 No one had a tighter grip on the rules of life than Philip Regler-husband, father, sportsman, and the manager of security at a downtown office building in Seattle-until his fateful encounter one evening with a quirky young woman on a bicycle. Nikki Dinsmore is British and a bit of a flake in search of a true friend. They share an interest in small revenge, and each other, but it soon drifts into more serious territory, and a dozen lives begin to unravel around them in a web of unwanted consequences. A sexual and psychological thriller, vibrating with unexpected detail and unintended tragedy. Tucker has created a perfect storm of ordinary life gone badly off the map. You'll want to follow the rules after reading this one. All of the rules.
