About The Book
A razor-sharp work of women’s fiction with psychological suspense, set against the glitter, grit, and manic energy of 1980s New York City.
After a divorce leaves her untethered and desperate to feel alive again, twenty-nine-year-old Tina is drawn into the orbit of Spike, a beautiful, seductive, seemingly invulnerable woman who lives like rules are for other people.
Spike offers Tina everything she’s craving: adventure, reinvention, and a front-row seat to a world of power, sex, wealthy men, and unspoken danger. But the closer Tina gets, the more she realizes Spike’s charisma has teeth, and the less harmless her secrets prove to be.
A darkly funny, witty, and propulsive thriller, A Dangerous Friendship is a story of obsession, betrayal, survival, and the terrifying moment you understand that the friendship you thought would save you might be the thing that ruins you.

"Can a novel be cozy and corrosive at the same time? . . . Friendships and courtships grow, dissolve and explode, sometimes in the same day, but Merle uncorks her most powerful surprises in the seams of conflict."—Ben Neihart, author of Hey, Joe and Rough Amusements
