About this title

Synopsis

From the author of THE MAGUS, a novel first published by Jonathan Cape in 1963. A withdrawn, unloved butterfly collector wins a fortune on the football pools, and this enables him to abduct a young art student and keep her in the cellar of his newly-bought home. She tries to understand her captor but becomes repulsed by his mentality.

Review

"He has a magnificent narrative gift...brilliant" (Independent)

"A brilliant, unusual theme... Short and spare and direct, an intelligent thriller with psychological and social overtones" (Sunday Times)
