From the author of THE BALLAD OF PECKHAM RYE. In the staff quarters, the servants led by Lister, the cool, unflappable butler are preparing for the downfall of the Baron and Baroness. Meanwhile in the attic, the Baron's invalid brother awaits his fate as an unwitting pawn in their devious plans.

Muriel Spark (1918–2006) was the author of dozens of novels, including The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Memento Mori, A Far Cry from Kensington, The Girls of Slender Means, The Ballad of Peckham Rye, The Driver’s Seat, and many more. She became Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1993.
“Spark is a natural, a paradigm of that rare sort of artist from whom work of the highest quality flows as elementally as current through a circuit: hook her to a pen and the juice purls out of her.”
- Stephen Schiff, The New Yorker
“Her books enact a modern anxiety about the viability of fiction while being full of old-fashioned novelistic consolations and satisfactions.”
- James Wood, The Guardian
“A very rare bird...Spark explored [her] metafictional-theological theme further in the brilliant and audacious novellas The Driver’s Seat and Not to Disturb, which I especially admire.”
- David Lodge, author of Changing Places
