Synopsis
“One of my patients thinks somebody’s trying to kill him,” Aileen Macklin says to her husband over breakfast. A psychiatrist with a fading marriage, Aileen is haunted by the glue-sniffing lad who comes to her in a panic, begging to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital for protection. Gary Dunn clearly needs help: ravaged by his squalid existence, he is paralyzed with fear about a murder he has witnessed and convinced he may be next. Unfortunately for Gary, he may just be right. And unfortunately for Aileen, she becomes far more involved in his case than professional ethics would recommend.

“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 Observer
