Marjorie only knows that something's wrong (""Who was this man, this man she was holding?""), and she's somewhat reassured when Jack agrees to try psychotherapy. Could there be a connection between the Krenners and the murders? Well, the hints start coming pretty quickly: Jack, flying to his mother's deathbed, recalls her traumatizing threats of castration then Marjorie realizes that Jack's on cocaine (which is soon providing them with super-sex) and then Marjorie sees Jack urinating into the family milk! By now, reader-wise, it's clear that Jack is the psycho-rapist-killer. Meanwhile, there's a series of grisly, sexual mutilation-murders in the area-investigated by veteran cop Lichteiman. Marjorie, while tending two tots, is trying to write a novel Jack is frantically trying to keep big bucks coming in from screenplays. Jack and Marjorie Krenner have recently moved to Beverly Hills from N.Y. Psycho-sexual domestic horror-in a lurid, exploitative (yet glossy) first ""adult"" novel from a veteran YA author.
