Schemes feed on discontent. Murder feeds on deception.

Hopkins' award-winning genius for creating characters delivers again in this taut, intelligent portrayal of John Strickland-a man caught in a web of lies, seduction, moral deception and ultimately, shattering violence.

John Strickland feels trapped in both a marriage and career that no longer feed or fulfill him. He finds himself falling between the bed-sheets of a rich, beautiful and politically connected young woman-a move that sets into motion forces that will shatter his entire world.

A Married Man is an honest, intelligent, psychologically rich portrait of a man seduced by pleasure and power. With unpredictable twists and turns, it is a story of love, passion, betrayal, corruption and all too human need...a gripping look at a troubled marriage, and an even more troubling murder.
