Opis

When Charlie, a psychiatrist, is introduced to Nora Chiara, they fall for each other quickly, but their bliss is short-lived. As Charlie probes at the source of her distress, a half-memory from deep in his own unconscious mind begins to arouse a horrifying suspicion.

Recenzje

'Few writers are capable of taking their readers to such dark places with such evident relish. Among McGrath's greatest skills lies the ease with which he compels us to read on as his tales of madness, murder, abuse and incest unfold ... this masterly specimen of modern gothic delivers the unsettling sting in its tail' Financial Times
