The Winner
Conor O'Toole has never experienced anything like Cutters Neck, a gated community near Cape Cod. It's a sweet summer deal: in exchange for tennis lessons, he receives free lodging in a luxurious guest cottage, far from the cramped Yonkers apartment he shares with his diabetic mother.
In this oceanfront paradise, new clients are hard to come by, and Conor has bills to pay. When Catherine, a sharp-tongued divorcée, offers double his usual rate, he soon realizes she expects additional, off-court services for her money. Conor tumbles into a secret erotic affair unlike anything he's experienced before.
Despite his steamy flings with a woman twice his age, he simultaneously finds himself falling for an artsy, outspoken girl he meets on the beach. With cautious, strategic planning, Conor somehow manages this tangled web—until he makes one final, irreversible mistake.
A dark, explosive literary thriller that brilliantly skewers the elite, Teddy Wayne's unputdownable novel is cinematic, shocking, and a psychological masterpiece.
