A novel about obsession that makes for obsessive reading.All Owen Patterson wants can be an normal life, a happy marriage, and a stable family. But following a brutal and random murder of his brother-in-law, that fantasy is shattered. A time later, his partner is still in mourning and his in-laws won't talk about not their dead child.The murderer, Henry Joseph Raven, has been put in prison, but so far as Owen is concerned, jail isn't punishment enough. He embarks on a mission to "balance the scales of justice," writing words to Henry Raven under the pseudonym Lily Hazelton. His plan: To seduce the murderer, make him fall in love with his fictional correspondent, and then break his center. From one notice to the next, Lily Hazelton evolves into a interested amalgam of details from Owen's creativeness, snatches of his difficult years as a child, and recollections of his cousin Eileen, a suicide who was simply his first real love. Not entirely in control of his own creation, Owen dives headfirst in to the correspondence, only to find himself found in the trap he's placed for Henry Raven.Combining an epistolary game of pet cat and mouse with the harrowing record of 1 man's psychological collapse, The Interloper is a compelling and original debut from a vivid new writer.
