Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
The plot of this latest effort from one of Britain's premiere crime novelists intentionally shadows the famous Jacobean drama of double-crosses, The Changeling, by Thomas Middleton. Even if readers aren't familiar with the deformed servant who holds the fate of a beautiful woman with a dark secret in his hands, they will succumb to James' adept characterization and his panache with plot. In this compelling update, a successful middle-aged architect is about to marry a woman half his age. He regards her as a "prize in the game of life"; she regards him as her entry into a finer world. Enter the chauffeur, repellant because of a disfiguring birthmark, who finds out the young beauty has a boyfriend just released from prison. When she begs him to dispose of the troublesome boyfriend, he acts in typically bloody Jacobean fashion, plunging the plot into a cauldron of ever darker secrets. Psychological suspense that deepens with every page. Connie Fletcher

From Library Journal
Beautiful 20-year-old Joanna plans to marry nouveau riche but much older Miro Vermont, head architect of an engineering firm, and move into his refurbished country manor. Unfortunately, her ex-boyfriend turns up, fresh from prison, wanting her back and threatening to tell Miro about her abortion. Joanna, heretofore repulsed by Miro's birthmark-disfigured chauffeur who wants her body confesses to him that she would give anything to have her ex-boyfriend out of the way. Little does she know. A tried-and-true formula from the "Godfather of British noir" succeeds once again in this eminently readable, vividly portrayed, and highly suspenseful story. For fans of British crime novels.
