nn"A master thriller and a remarkable portrait of a
twisted character." —TimennFor Arthur Rowe, the trip to
the charity fete was a joyful step back into adolescence, a
chance to forget the nightmare of the blitz—and the aching
guilt of having mercifully murdered his sick wife. He was
surviving alone, aside from the war, until he happened to
guess both the true and the false weight of the cake. From
that moment, he finds himself ruthlessly hunted, the quarry
of malign and shadowy forces, from which he endeavors to
escape with a mind that remains obstinately out of focus.n
