DESCRIPTION

'Wickedly entertaining' IRISH TIMES
An eerie, Venice-set novel from the bestselling Booker Prize-winning author.

A SUNDAY TIMES AND TLS BOOK OF THE YEAR, SHORTLISTED FOR THE AN POST IRISH BOOK AWARDS 2025
FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SNOW AND THE SEA

Everything was a puzzle, everything a trap set to mystify and hinder me.
Winter 1899, and strange things are afoot. As the new century approaches, English hack writer Evelyn Dolman marries Laura Rensselaer, the daughter of a wealthy American plutocrat. But in the midst of a rift between Laura and her father, Evelyn's plans for a substantial inheritance look to be dashed.

Arriving in Venice for their belated honeymoon at Palazzo Dioscuri - the ancestral home of the charming but treacherous Count Barbarigo - the couple are met by a series of seemingly
otherworldly occurrences, which exacerbate Evelyn's already frayed nerves. Is it just the sea mist blanketing the floating city, or is he really losing his mind?

'The most eminent innovator in Irish fiction of the last 50 years.' IRISH TIMES
