Damage: INSPIRATION FOR THE NETFLIX SERIES OBSESSION

Product Information

He climbs up a flight of stairs to the top floor, opens the unlocked door to the apartment, and is shocked to see his father making love to his fiancée. Readers may find the prose overly mannered, however, and the novel more successful as an emotional tour de force than as a credible study of human nature. In his latest assault on sexual abusers of children, super-tough Manhattan maverick PI Burke works both sides of the law to save Luke, an eight-year-old suspect in a series of baby murders. There was however one person, who was hypnotized by the spectacle of that aloof elegance when it struck him with the force majeure equal to the moment of his re/birth.

It’s the story of Stephen Fleming, a man who seemingly has everything – wealth, a beautiful wife (Ingrid), two children (Martyn and Sally), and a prestigious political career in Parliament.She was a Director of Haymarket Publishing and founded Gallery Poets before going on to produce a number of West End plays. Anna immediately acknowledges the erotic bond between them, and the two begin a frenzied affair, its moral complications exacerbated by the fact that Anna is the narrator's son's fiancee.

The MP runs down the stairs completely naked, finding Martyn dead, sprawled out on the ground floor. But his life lacks passion, and his aching emptiness drives him to an all-consuming, and ultimately catastrophic, relationship with his son’s fiancée.

The MP enjoys a brief period of sexual bliss, meeting Anna in various European cities and having sex with her in unlikely places. In his seventh outing, Burke, Vachss's flinty ex-con and relentless crusader for abused kids last featured in Sacrifice , is still reeling after having killed a kid in a previous case gone sour. Lady Saatchi wrote the New York Times bestselling novel Damage, which was the basis for the 1992 film of the same name, directed by Louis Malle and starring Jeremy Irons, Juliette Binoche and Rupert Graves. Knowing cats, a lifetime of cats, what is left is a sediment of sorrow quite different from that due to humans: compounded of pain for their helplessness, of guilt on behalf of us all. Portrait of an obsession … Juliette Bincohe and Jeremy Irons in Damage, directed by Louis Malle (1992).
