Criminal Conversation / Evan Hunter

In a posh flat in a working-class neighbourhood, Sarah and Andrew make love. Neither of them knows that their illicit affair will have explosive consequences – or that their hideout has been wired to record their every word by a New York prosecutor who wants to indict Andrew, an alleged Mafia leader. And neither of them can predict where the most basic desires of the human heart – passion, ambition, revenge – will lead: to a life-and-death struggle in the worlds of organised crime and legal warfare.
