In the tradition of Patricia Highsmith's Tom Ripley books comes a deliciously unsettling, darkly funny novel about a man who silently spies on the private lives of his neighbors. You won't bear in mind Mr. Heming. He was the property agent who showed you around your comfortable home, advised a financial offer, negotiated a price with the dog owner, and called you with the good thing. The less very good news is that, all these years later, he still gets the key. That's absurd, you laugh. Of all the many a huge selection of residences he has sold, why would he still have the main element to mine? The answer is; he gets the keys to all of them. William Heming's most at home in a stranger's private things. He makes it his business to know all their secrets, and how they arrange their lives. His every pleasure is within his leafy community. He loves and recognizes every inch of it, feels nurtured because of it, and would defend it - not with his life but if it came to it, with yours. Things get started to improve when Mr. Hemings' obsession shifts from many visitors to one, and a deceased body winds up in someone's garden. For a guy who is employed to going unremarked, Mr. Heming's discovers his natural program becomes uncomfortably interrupted.
