The new book from the author of The Buddha of Suburbia comes a novella of passion, revenge, and deception. Waldo, a fêted filmmaker, is confined by old age and ill health to his London apartment. Frail and frustrated, he is cared for by his lovely younger wife, Zee. But when he suspects that Zee is beginning an affair with Eddie, "more than an acquaintance and less than a friend for over thirty years," Waldo is pressed to action: determined to expose the couple, he sets himself first to prove his suspicions correct - and then to enact his revenge. Written with characteristic black humor and with an acute eye for detail, this eagerly awaited novella will leave readers dazzled once again by a brilliant mind at work.
