ABOUT THE BOOK

'If love is an obsessive-compulsive disorder, then I have been ill for years.
But never as sick with bliss, as diseased, as now.'

Is it possible to be too much in love? After ten years in London, Martin Blackman returns to Adelaide with his wife and fellow psychiatrist Lucy, blissfully happy. But then he introduces her to his old friend Felix, once a brilliant surgeon, now barred from practising and changed beyond recognition. In the complex triangle that develops, Martin must decide just how far he is prepared to go for Felix. So begins the darkest of journeys for all three of them . . .
Confronting, unpredictable, richly sexual, Three Dog Night is a lyrical page-turner.
