Publisher's Synopsis
No-one has set eyes on Patrick Mount since the day he disappeared in 1965. Connie Benson, his reclusive former lover, has bravely ventured to London to take part in the unveiling of her famous painting of him at the National Portrait Gallery. Meanwhile Tony, a violent and disturbed ex-convict, has broken into her hideaway Norfolk cottage to satisfy his sinister obsession with Patrick. As events veer out of control, Connie finds herself fighting for her life... "Creepy with apprehension and producing satisfying fits of the shivers" SUNDAY TIMES "Glaister's eighth novel might be dubbed a story of the search for total bliss, but this is sheer gothic horror - and all the more satisfying for it...She tackles tough, complex issues with panache...The written equivalent of the film noir."
