But following the brutal  and random murder of his brother-in-law, that dream is shattered. A year later, his  wife is still in mourning and his in-laws won't talk about anything but their dead  son.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The murderer, Henry Joseph Raven, has been put in prison, but as far as Owen  is concerned, prison isn’t punishment enough. He embarks on a quest to \"balance the  scales of justice,\" writing letters to Henry Raven under the pseudonym Lily Hazelton.  His plan: to seduce the murderer, make him fall in love with his fictional correspondent,  and then break his heart. From one letter to the next, Lily Hazelton develops into  a curious amalgam of details from Owen’s imagination, snatches of his difficult childhood,  and memories of his cousin Eileen, a suicide who was his first true love. Not entirely  in control of his own creation, Owen dives headfirst into the correspondence, only  to find himself caught in the trap he’s set for Henry Raven.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bringing together an  epistolary game of cat and mouse with the harrowing record of one man’s psychological  collapse, The Interloper is a compelling and original debut from a bold new writer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"As assured and sumptuously written as any first novel I’ve encountered—Antoine  Wilson’s prose sings, and the story he tells here is both clever and compelling.  This is writing at its very best.\" — T.
