Jack Russell terrier. The remains of a female bodyÊ
have been recovered from Regent's Canal, and bothÊ
her husband and his best friend are suspects in whatÊ
increasingly appears to be a murder.
The fast-moving story travels backwards in time.Ê
Exploration of the mystery of Antonia's fate followsÊ
twists and turns as hair-raising as the roads on theÊ
mountainous isle of Capri. Jane Huxley, detective ofÊ
the human psyche, ushers readers to the astonishingÊ
ending, proving along the way that the deepestÊ
mystery of all is that of the soul torn between desireÊ
and loyalty.
Jane Huxley once again shines a light on what oneÊ
reviewer of her previous work called "the pamperedÊ
indolence of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Beautiful andÊ
the Damned". She keeps up a brisk pace, both in theÊ
elegant prose and the suspense instilled from theÊ
opening pages, affording readers a voyeuristic thrillÊ
along with keen psychological insight. Ê
ÊJane Huxley is recognised as a clever and ingeniousÊ
novelist. In Summer Night, Winter Moon, she elevatesÊ
the novel to literary artwork.
Huxley lives and works in New York, London, and
the South of France. She is married to an AmericanÊ
physician and has two daughters.
