Review
In the shadowy corridors of a prestigious university, a beautiful woman is entering the darkest place of all: the twisted mind of a killer....
"Strong works out his whodunit plot with care and shows no mercy in exposing the loose morals of Oxford's hedonistic literary crowd."--The New York Times Book Review "The classic English mystery meets the modern American thriller...and the result is bloody screaming murder."
--Matthew Hall, author of The Art of Breaking Glass From the Paperback edition.
From the Back Cover
In the wake of a failed marriage and a misguided love affair, feisty academic Terry Williams moves to Oxford to resume her abandoned doctorate in detective fiction. But her new home, a terraced house on quiet Osney Island, was previously the scene of a savage sexual murder, and Terry soon finds the past returning to invade the present with horrific consequences.
A traumatized stray cat which eats its own babies, a famous neighbour involved in a hushed-up sexual scandal, and the discovery of a series of pornographic letters all serve to involve Terry in a mystery more brutal and more elusive than any tackled by the fictional detectives she studies.
