An exploration of the meaning of moral responsibility in literature and daily life. In Shattuck`s view the tragic destiny of Western culture has been to gradually erode all sacredness in a continued transgression of all limits. In the quest for knowledge and ever more rarified experience, the link between boundaries and the moral life has been broken. Shattuck hopes that we can yet recover our innocence by reexamining the greatest myths and stories of our tradition.

This police thriller/romantic suspense novel is a sequel to DON'T LOOK NOW. Clare Westbrook's love life could use some improvement--she's currently estranged from boyfriend Tony Sonterra, an ambitious Scottsdale homicide detective. Theoretically, her professional life should be just fine; she's used the $20 million inheritance from her father to open up her own law practice in Phoenix, allowing her to defend those who fit her quixotic definition of innocent. But not long after a mentally ill man warns her to beware of dolls, a spray of bullets shatters her office windows, the mentally ill man is murdered...and she discovers a bunch of broken dolls. Unfortunately, Clare's best chance for staying alive is to stick close to Tony--who may, in fact, be the mysterious killer's true target.
