A writer's den, as dusty and gloomy as the cell of a medieval monk. Two men sit opposite each other, one of them talking, the other typing. But why, in such already sombre surroundings, does one of the two men wear thick dark glasses? What is the other typing so industriously and so imperturbably? Why is the light left on in an unoccupied bathroom? What is the precise significance of the jigsaw puzzle laid out on the study table? Why, too, are some of its pieces.missing? Whose statue actually stands on the empty plinth in Trafalgar Square? And what, above all, has caused an unearthly shadow to fall across these two interwoven destinies? With an atmosphere of eerie morbidity reminiscent of Poe, Hoffmann and Stephen King, and an eleventh-hour twist of which Agatha Christie herself would have been envious, Gilbert Adair's latest novel is undoubtedly his most brilliant to date.
