A widow's quiet retirement in the foothills of the Alps is turned upside down by the arrival of a mysterious stranger.
Like his }Moon In A Dead Eye{, this pokes fun at 'dream' retirements and the appearance of calm domesticity.
'Think Simenon and Patricia Highsmith mixed, with jokes added to the black brew' John Banville.
