Aud has no love for or faith in Tammy, but she feels obliged to help--and first on the streets of New York City, and then deep in the woods of Arkansas, she finds herself up against Karp, a sociopath so artful that the law can't touch him. Fortunately, Aud has no love for or faith in the law, either--she prefers other tools. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut perhaps even more dangerous to Aud than Karp are Aud's own demons. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs arresting as a razor at the throat, Nicola Griffith's \u003ci\u003eStay\u003c\/i\u003e is a ferocious masterpiece of literary noir, a stunning juxtaposition of beauty and brutality.
