These eight stories highlight the many levels on which sex operates--as physical release, as a weapon of violence, and as a substitute for love and romance. Far more than cheap titillation, these tales lay bare our deepest hopes and fears as we venture into the most thrilling and dangerous of human pleasures. The book's capstone is the short novel, "Cassandra's Plan," a tale of crime, love, betrayal, and sex.
