From the rear cover: "Petite, pretty socialite Hope Masters lived at a million-dollar Beverly Hills address-on food stamps. One night she awoke in terror to find a gun barrel in her mouth. A psycopathic stranger had traveled across half a continent to commit a bizarre crime. His motive was mysterious, his actions brutal and perverse. Yet by the end of a horrifying weekend, he would treat his tormented victim more like a lover than a killer. A vivid portrait of the world of California's super-rich, this is the astonishing true story of a beautiful woman caught between repulsion and deadly seduction, put on trial for a murder she didn't do, ready to lie for the man who did it, willing to protect him--even able to love him."
