The award-winning writer of The Babes in the Lumber and The Rottweiler brings us another terrifically paced, richly drawn book of suspense and mental intrigue. Weeks went by when Ismay never thought of it by any means. Then something would bring it back or it could returning in a goal. The goal always began in the same way. She and her mother would be climbing the stairs, pursuing Heather's lead through the bed room from what was on the other hand, not a bathroom in the goal, but a chamber floored and walled in marble. In the center of it was a glassy lake. The white thing in this inflatable water floated towards her, its face submerged, and her mother said, absurdly, "Don't look!" The dead man was Ismay's stepfather, Guy. Now, nine years on, she and her sister, Heather, still reside in the same house in Clapham. But it has been divided into two self-contained flats. Their mother had resided upstairs with her sister, Pamela. And the toilet, where Guy got drowned, had disappeared. Ismay worked in public relations, and Heather in catering. They got on well. They always got. They never reviewed the changes to the house, still less what got occurred that August day.... But even lives as private as these, where secrets suspend in the air like dust particles, intertwine with other worlds and other individuals. And, with unpleasant inevitability, the reality will emerge.
