Adam was a hero, an Adonis, ageless and virile- at least in his own mind.Although some people saw him in a similar light, the woman whose opinion mattered most to him did not.On paper, he had it all: a good job, a beautiful home, and a wife who adored him.It had been a long time since he had moved from the small town in western France to Paris, and he had almost left those times behind. Just when he had nearly let go of his youthful love, chance reawakened his old obsession.The fact that the woman of his dreams did not return his feelings, either then or later, awakened strange, sick, violent thoughts in his mind. And the more he fantasized, the more his thoughts spurred him into action.
