	Reardon, Lisa. Billy Dead.
		Reardon's debut novel is narrated by Ray Johnson, younger brother of the recently murdered Billy and middle child of perhaps the sickest family in Michigan.
		Ray, and Reardon, cast no aspersions though, as Ray sleepily reveals the layers of pain that go way beyond the self-perpetuating spirals of "abuse." As the police and Ray try to find Billy's killer, the covers are lifted on the not-so-secret secrets of the Johnson clan.
		Reardon dares to challenge the very nature of sin as she suggests that incest can have color and layers; indeed, she creates between Ray and Jean a terribly beautiful love story.

		Lonely, divorced architect Ray Reardon (James Spader) is looking for his dream lover, and thinks he's found her in beautiful Lena Mathers (Madchen Amick), even though their first encounter, in a swank art gallery, is less than promising (he spills wine on her and she's hatefully oblivious to his apologies).
		Inevitably, nagging cracks appear in the facade of Ray's perfect life: snatches of overheard telephone conversations, tiny discrepancies in Lena's accounts of where she's been and what she's doing, minor inconsistencies in her rare remarks about the past.
		And Lena's past isn't the half of it: Ray begins to suspect that she's having an affair, and when he tries to confront her, finds himself trapped in a waking nightmare of her astonishingly careful devising.

		Reardon is a legend of the game, a six-time world champion who dominated the '70s as comprehensively as Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry ruled the following two decades.
		Reardon played on as a new form of snooker began to emerge, with faster cloths and larger pockets favouring attacking play and the long-pot sharpshooters.
		Even when Williams claimed his first world crown in 2000, to suggest that he would overtake Ray Reardon as the greatest Welsh snooker star would have been seen by many as laughable.
