New York: Mysterious Press, (1993) dj. Hardcover first edition - A novel of psychological suspense - "as delicious, dark fantasies of revenge are conceived and spun out. For 25 years, Jeff and Susan Bentham have stuck to a chilly, loveless marriage . But the pendulum swings towards Susan when she wins 1 million in the pools and sets out to redress the slights of a quarter-century. Gradually, anonymously, she strips her husband of all he holds dear. . Jeff barely notices at first, but the noose tightens uncomfortably soon enough. . Chaplin winches up the tension notch by tender notch to a gallows-humor finale in which the tables are triumphantly turned." (Publishers Weekly) 265 pp. ISBN: 0-892965045.
