Peter Dickinson has won international acclaim for his stunning and
uniquely inventive crime fiction. Now the author P. D. James calls
"the true original" returns once again to prove that in his
masterful hands, harrowing suspense can be found in the most
unexpected places.
Paralyzed by a debilitating illness, ninety-year-old Rachel
Matson has been robbed of everything but her intellect. Yet when
the indomitable widow finds herself confronted by a disturbing
mystery -- one that begins when a nineteenth-century pistol that
belonged to her husband pops up on Antiques Roadshow -- she is
determined to solve it. From the confines of her bed, with only the
photographs she took long ago to guide her, Rachel begins the
arduous task of teasing the past from the shadows. But what finally
emerges is a tale stretching back more than half a century, a tale
bearing a sordid secret and an even more devastating truth...
