| | Publisher's Note | A gripping account of a family pushed to the breaking point, The Intruder is a brilliant tale of contemporary domestic suspense. Jacob Schiff, a Manhattan lawyer in his forties, has recently settled into a stable upper-middle-class life with his wife, Dana, a psychiatrist, and their 16-year-old son. But when a homeless man who is one of Dana's patients becomes obsessed with her, Jake decides to take matters into his own hands--with devastating results.
| | Industry reviews | "'The Intruder' is un-putdownable. It had me up until one in the morning, turning pages long after I should have been in bed. What lifts Blauner above all his contemporaries is his narrative energy, his understanding of urban life (especially the Late Century Paranoid variety), and his compassion for his characters. "The Intruder" is one of those rare novels that build a bridge between what we call popular fiction and what we call literature. My advice to you is to mark some time aside and read this book."
Book Jacket - Stephen King
"No other American novelist has come close to Peter Blauner in capturing the heart-killing anxiety that has cut a ragged hole through life in big cities. The gnawing dailiness of menace, violation, loss and insecurity is on every page. But this is not a tract; it is a fine novel, people with rich, surprising characters caught in a story that is elegantly written and swiftly paced. After reading it, you will never walk down a city street in the same innocent way."

"Peter Blauner's dark and edgy suspense thriller 'The Intruder' is so neatly and cunningly executed that there isn't a thing wrong with it."
New York Times Book Review - Marilyn Stasio (07/07/1996)
"One of those big question books (ie can a good man go too far to protect his own?), but not in the least clumsy with it. Blauner's narrative is lean, racy, and nailed to the way we live."
Literary Review - Philip Oakes (11/19/1996)
"Uncomplicated, irresistible melodrama. Just try to tear yourself away from it long enough to cast the big-ticket movie."
