Sex and violence: Bring it

  A reader of Between the Covers asks for recommendations of erotic thrillers; I came up empty-handed, sadly, being more of a hardboiled noir fan, but if anybody has any suggestions please fork 'em over. The reader is a fan of Patrick McGrath's Asylum (made into a truly creepy movie, btw, with Ian McKellan and the ever cool Natasha Richardson, who is rocking the cleavage over to your left, and this other guy who was kind of a poor woman's Russell Crowe) and Susanna Moore's In the Cut (made into a movie I didn't see with Jennifer Jason Leigh).

Moore has a new memoir out about her girlhood in Hawaii, but I don't think that's what we're looking for here. McGrath's new novel is Trauma, which appears to also involve someone losing his grip on his sanity. I can relate. Can't you?
