From the author "Time" magazine calls "the best mystery writer in
the English-speaking world," comes an elegant and gripping new
novel that blurs the line between psychological suspense and Gothic
horror.
Kerstin Krist arrives at the vine-covered Lydstep Old Hall in rural
Essex to care for John Cosway, a former mathematical genius, who
has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and kept under heavy
sedation. John is the sole heir of the immense Cosway estate. As he
takes his daily walks or sits quivering in a labyrinthine library,
the rest of the family plots their own ways of coming into the
fortune. It is classic Barbara Vine-an absolutely enthralling tale
that keeps turning and twisting until the very last page.
