This book by "Tijuana Straits" author Nunn is the story of Dr. Eldon Chance, a neuropsychiatrist who finds his life spinning out of control after he is seduced by the wife of an unpredictable and violent detective. He then meets a man known only as D when Eldon hires him to build a piece of furniture. Nelson says she especially likes Eldon Chance's narrative voice. "He's extremely smart about other people's problems but completely out of touch with himself," she says.
