The Dead Wait

"He began reading through some of his notes and thought back over Norah’s bedroom. Every day he had thought about that room. His abiding memory was still that it was cold." A woman struggles beneath a man’s body. Whether she is victim or perpetrator, the dead wait for her. Set in contemporary London, partly in the daily running of a West End theatre, the novel explores loneliness and independence in a mixture of psychological mystery and of detective story.
