Description & Specifications

Published for the first time ever in the UK, Warren Adler's cult classic presents the violent and comedic battle of a married couple in the midst of divorce

'Terrifying, black-humoured, black-hearted and bristling' Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl

Jonathan and Barbara Rose are the perfect couple, living the dream in their beautiful house, filled with their precious antiques, their darling children, and their prized Ferrari in the garage. It's all any red-blooded American could possibly want. But when Jonathan experiences a sudden heart attack (or so he thinks) Barbara realises that she wants a new life, without him. There's just one problem: they both want the house. For husband and wife, it's not just a residence: it's a passion, one that will escalate an ugly divorce into a full-blown battlefield, complete with weapons and casualties.

In this viciously black comedy, the Roses will each do whatever they can to destroy their better half - no matter the cost to themselves . . .
