**Now filmed as Obsession on Netflix - starring Richard Armitage and Charlie Murphy**

The New York Times bestselling masterpiece - a daring look at the dangers of obsession and the depth of its shattering consequences

''Damaged people are dangerous. They know they can survive.''

Damage is the gripping story of a man''s desperate obsession and scandalous love affair. He is a man who appears to have everything: wealth, a beautiful wife and children, and a prestigious political career in Parliament. But his life lacks passion, and his aching emptiness drives him to an all-consuming and ultimately catastrophic relationship with his son''s fiancee.

''The reader looks on with mingled shock and fascination. A tour de force'' New York Times

''Unputdownable is here, for once, not hyperbolic'' Ruth Rendell

''Damage is a masterpiece'' Washington Post

''Passionate, elegant, ruthless'' Iris Murdoch
