Terrifying, dark and bold, Sarah Dunants breakthrough psychological thriller transcends genres and audiences; it crosses all boundaries, encroaching on the darker side of sex and fantasy, male and female.
Elizabeth Skorvecky has just come out of a long-term relationship with her boyfriend. Alone in her Victorian house, her only companions are her cat, a trashy crime novel shes translating from Czech, and her music. As the summer ends and the days draw in, unsettling things begin to happen. First its just a missing CD, then music playing in an empty kitchen at midnight, then a table laid for breakfast for two. Poltergeist? Insanity?
When Elizabeth wakes at four in the morning to find a man sitting at the end of her bed, she knows, sickeningly , shes very sane - and being stalked. She also discovers that the means of surviving can be just as shocking as surrender.
