Publishers Weekly says: ‘… brilliantly piles baffling puzzle upon baffling puzzle… richly atmospheric.’ Goodreads writes (of the French version): ‘ highly suspenseful… engrossing and virtually unputdownable… highly recommended.’
The room in Hatton Manor is sealed for a reason. It’s where Harvey Thorne went mad and placed a curse on the family. Now his great-nephew Harris wants to open it up, but his brother Brian, a clairvoyant, warns him against the idea. Harris is the first to perish, but there will be others. Each time, the victim has seen something unimaginable from the doorway and each time there has been a wet patch on the carpet in front of the fireplace. And yet it seems such an ordinary room….
Hurst and Twist are on the trail of one of the most diabolically cunning murderers ever.
This is LRI’s thirteenth Paul Halter translation. Two earlier novels have been named to PW’s Top Mystery/Thrillers lists: ‘The Crimson Fog’ in 2013 and ‘The Vampire Tree’ in 2016.
Locked Room International also translates and publishes the works of other international impossible crime authors past and present. For information about signed and lettered editions of all living authors please contact pugmire1@yahoo.com or go to www.mylri.com.
