Nick Holloway and Jenny Parrish have been meeting monthly for sex for six years despite being married to other people, but when a fire starts outside their hotel room, fear strips away their defenses, and they are forced to be honest with each other and themselves. - Random House, Inc.
â[A] crafty new locked-room thriller of adultery and disaster . . . a fresh take on middle-class marital malaise . . . Kennedyâs page-turner brings [our] fundamental human fears into the blazing light of a towering inferno.ââThe Washington Post
Two people, one hotel room, and all the choices and complications that make up a life.
After six years of a stolen hour here, another there, tonight is going to be different for Nick Holloway and Jenny Parrish. Theyâve booked a room in a new luxury hotel in Manhattan, where theyâll spend the entire night together for the first time. Expectations are running high for this brief reprieve from ordinary life: they both need a good bout of ravishing sex and witty conversation.
But thatâs not what they get.
Because theyâve barely gotten started when a smoke alarm goes off. Nick is annoyed, but not worried about what must be only a minor glitch. Jenny is anxious, guiltyâis karma coming for them at last?
This existential page-turner seamlessly shifts between Nick and Jennyâs perspectives as the reality of their situation becomes apparent, and all their secrets, evasions and regrets come spilling out. Stripped of their defenses, disagreeing about everything, these two flawed, funny, very different people are forced to be honestâwith each other and themselvesâabout what they want, all they stand to lose, and whether their affair is really as casual as it seems.
