“Quake” by Melanie Marnich

Lucy is on the “move,” a word that becomes her mantra in an
idealistic search for the “big love” of her life. She becomes
involved in a succession of surreal, contorted affairs with men and
an infatuation with That Woman, a notorious female astro-physicist
turned
serial killer, hungering for her power and velocity. Trying to find
her pace, moving with the world, Lucy longs to know the intensity of
a human connection.

life afraid to slow down, propelled by a voice within her.

serial killer with brilliant control and power.

life for better and worse.
