Description
When an appalling boating accident off the coast of Nice allegedly kills Dr. Alex Davenport, his attractive young wife Marie finds herself in the ironic position of widow of a husband she had been planning to leave for another man. But Alex’s body suddenly disappears from the morgue, and his plane ticket and passport are missing. So begins a mystery of hypnotic fascination, involving elements of the bizarre and the supernatural.“Eerily suspenseful, compelling and brilliant.”—David Miller, The Independent (London)
“One of the finest writers of our time.”—Ian Thomson, The Guardian
“An entertainment, a theological Twilight Zone episode, a modernized Bernadette of Lourdes.”—KirkusBrian Moore was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1921.
