Trouble: a novel by Jesse Kellerman

Nothing is what it seems *** May 9,2007

This is the second novel by Jesse Kelleman, son of Jonathan and Faye Kellerman, whose novels have been on the bestseller lists for years. Jesse has inherited the writing abilty of his parents. The hero of this novel is Jonah Stem, a young medical resident at a midtown Manhattan hospital. On his way home from a late shift one night he sees a woman desperately fleeing a knife-wielding assailant. The man has a knife and is killed as he struggles with Jonah for possession of the knife. Jonah enjoys a brief celebrity, but his life soon becomes complicated when the woman he rescued, Eve Gones, seeks him out and the two begin a passionate affair. Eve is into violent sex. Jonah tries to end to end the relationship, but soon finds himself being stalked by Eve. This is a well-written novel but the plot may not be to your taste.
