'So ingeniously constructed, its truth and falsehoods are so deftly and convincingly interwoven, that its solution ... is as jolting as a flash of lightning'
The Sunday Times
A classic crime novel by bestselling, prize-winning author Barbara Vine.
When successful author Gerald Candless dies of a sudden heart attack, the obituaries are respectful. He had been, after all, an admired and popular writer, and his sudden death at his home in Devon was a loss to literature as well as to his family and friends.
But then his eldest, adoring daughter Sarah embarks on a memoir of him and soon discovers that her perfect father was not all he appeared to be. That in fact he wasn't Gerald Candless at all.
But if he wasn't Gerald Candless, who was he? And what terrible secret had driven him to live a lie for all those years?
'Vine's control of plot and pure horripilation ... simultaneously thrills and disquiets. She goes for the imagination as a lesser writer would go for the jugular.'
Literary Review
'One of the most frightening novels I have ever read ... Gerald Candless, the monster at the heart of the maze, is a marvellous creation.'
