Seven tourists arrive at an island house shared by a professor with
a mysterious past, his helper of almost Igorian dimensions, and a
murderer who has recently been released from prison. The
consciousness of the murderer/narrator reveals a state between life
and death, an absence of personal or emotional reality, which acts
as the protagonist's antidote to the bloody physicality of The Book
of Evidence. Awakening the murderer from this purgatory, Banville
writes with the majestic prose and command of language for which he
is so acclaimed, but it is his integration of philosophy and
physicality, the grand thought not far removed from the whiff of
ammonia, that makes him a great writer. (Kirkus UK)
The second volume in the Freddie Montgomery trilogy. An unnamed murderer has served his time in prison, then comes to live on a sparsely populated island with the enigmatic Professor Silas Kreutznaer and his laconic companion, Licht. A party of castaways then arrives, with uneasy results.
