Why is there no movie of this?

I bought this one when it came out and it remains one my all-time favorites. In an age of endless remakes, Hollywood needs to film this nail-biter and many others that would make excellent motion pictures instead of the same old stuff.

Amazing!!

I couldnt put the book down, a page turner, I loved it from begining to end. I enjoy Sidney Sheldon and have read all his books, I'm so pleased to have now found Gary Devon, I only hope he writes faster then I am able to read all his books. Keep on writting so we can keep on enjoying your books! Thanks

I wish that I could give "Bad Desire" 10 Stars!!!!!!!!

I have read many books, but "Bad Desire," was hands down the BEST thriller I have EVER read in 20 years. I could not put this book down, and I was afraid to turn out the lights after reading it. My heart was racing even after the book ended. I cannot say enough to recommend this book. You will not be able to put it down. I was not as happy with "Wedding Night," the other book by Gary Devon, but "Bad Desire," is a book that you will not be able to put down. The things that the Mayor does to cover up his affair with Sheila will have you on the edge of your seat!

Excellent

"Bad Desire" is one of the best page-turners I've ever read. Henry Slater will do almost everything can to win the love of Shiela, a beautiful 17-year old girl. After their affair begins, Slater's wife finds out about the affair and "befriends" Shiela, and this is the beginning of the end which is one of the best to come along in the thriller genre in years. The ending reminded me of true Alfred Hitchcock. I quite simply could not put this book down. The only thing that puzzles me is why this excellent author has not written more books.
