Criminal Conversation

“A special occasion” “(Entertainment Weekly)” in the celebrated career of Evan Hunter, “Criminal Conversation” goes deeper than most suspense fiction dares — inside the intimate, sensual secrets of lovers…

In a chic apartment hidden within a working class neighborhood, Sarah and Andrew make love. Neither of them knows that their illicit affair is about to have explosive consequences — or that their hideaway has been wired to record their every word, by a New York City prosecutor with an agenda to indict Andrew, a reputed Mafia leader. And none of them can predict where the most basic desires of the human heart — passion, ambition, vengeance — will lead: a life-and-death struggle inside the worlds of organized crime and legal warfare.
