Strangers When We Meet: A Novel

New York Times Bestseller: A passionate, "no-holds-barred" story of an illicit suburban love affair from the acclaimed author of The Blackboard Jungle (The New York Times).

Larry Cole has everything a man could want. He loves his wife, Eve, and is devoted to their two small sons. His career as an architect is both creatively satisfying and financially rewarding. His house in suburban Pinecrest Manor is attractive and comfortable.

But then Larry sees a new neighbor standing at the school bus stop. Margaret Gault is young, blond, beautiful—and married. She's everything Larry didn't realize was missing from his life, and he must have her. Maggie tells Larry she's never been in love. But this isn't about love. It's about need and desire. Touch and taste and risk. And lies.

Larry and Maggie surrender to lust, knowing their secret motel rendezvous and lunch-hour trysts will amount to nothing; they will always be strangers to each other. But actions have consequences. And sometimes consequences can be deadly.

Author Evan Hunter adapted his riveting novel of infidelity into a film starring Kirk Douglas and Kim Novak. A torrid tale of sexual compulsion and the secrets lurking beneath the most placid of surfaces, Strangers When We Meet is an early masterpiece from the creator of the bestselling 87th Precinct series.
