Review
"Stunningly handled narrative. . . . Unnerving as rustling sheets in an unoccupied bed." --The Guardian
"Brings to the sudden-death genre a subtle humanism and to the mainstream novel a vivid and dramatic narrative gift." --Sunday Times [London] "An extraordinary performance, absorbing, tantalizing, concretely realized, often funny, more often genuinely menacing." --The Times (London) "Stunning originality, a true gift for drawing remarkable characters, and a real feeling for historical evocation." --Ruth Rendell "[A] searingly unusual novel." --The ObserverAbout the Author
