Summary

The psychologists would call it folie a deux…

‘Bruno slammed his palms together. ‘Hey! Cheeses, what an idea! I kill your wife and you kill my father! We meet on a train, see, and nobody knows we know each other! Perfect alibis! Catch?’

From this moment, almost against his conscious will, Guy Haines is trapped in a nightmare of shared guilt and an insidious merging of personalities.

Critics Review

A gem… A magnificent suspense

“A gem… A magnificent suspense” Daily Mail “A writer who created a world of her own - a world claustrophobic and irrational which we enter each time with a sense of personal danger” – Graham Greene “A true original in crime fiction and a superb writer” The Times
