Czeka na niego w ciemności, jej umysł i ciało doskonałe, bierne, aż pewnego dnia, gdy schodzi do piwnicy, jej już nie ma... W "Demonie w mojej wyobraźni" Ruth Rendell kreśli postać tak przerażającą, jak fascynującą. Łagodny Arthur Johnson nigdy nie potrafił rozmawiać z kobietami. Jego samotność wypaczyła pragnienie miłości i szacunku w starannie kontrolowaną skłonność do przemocy. Piętro poniżej, uczony kończący pracę magisterską na temat osobowości psychopatycznych ma zamiar natknąć się – dosłownie – na jeden z wielu sekretów Arthura. Przerażający i inteligentny, "Demon w mojej wyobraźni" ukazuje zdumiewające rezultaty tego mrocznego alchemicznego połączenia dwóch bardzo odmiennych umysłów – jednego patologicznego, a drugiego obsesyjnego na punkcie patologii.
