First sentence: Sunshine penetrates the salt-streaked window above Renata's bed, sliding across the peeling paint of the sill to a stain on the mottled purple bedspread crumpled around her feet.
Description: Set in Miami's gaudy vacationland and the haunting atmosphere of the Everglades, Cruel Poetry is a gripping story of fatal attraction that captures the Florida behind the postcards. As the lives of Richard and Julie unravel amidst drugs and murder, Hendrick's amps the adrenaline jolts and sweeps us to a bittersweet climax.
