Description
A celebrated musician’s world is thrown into shadow when a wealthy old man, Sir Manuel Camargue, becomes the center of a web of deception that no one can quite see through. As appearances fracture and motives multiply, a murder—and the conspiracy surrounding it—forces those closest to the truth to confront how easily identity can be manufactured and trust can be weaponized. With its intricate plotting and psychological edge, the novel explores themes of performance versus reality, the seductions of disguise, and the moral cost of cunning. In Ruth Rendell’s characteristically sharp, suspense-driven style, every clue feels like a mask, and every revelation raises the question of who is truly playing a part.
