From the award-winning Brazilian author of Nine Nights comes a
twisting psychological novel of literary intrigue, sexual desire, and
murder. In the pitch-black cell of an asylum—possibly in
nineteenth-century France—a “baron” carries on an extended
dialogue with a disembodied “voice.” Arrested for a crime that he
has no memory of, the baron swears to his innocence throughout. In
contemporary France, a husband and wife push each other into
increasingly violent and extreme situations in what is evidently a
deeply twisted marriage. There is only one possible outcome as the
stakes continue to escalate. And where there is murder, there must be
a murderer. But as Bernardo Carvalho's ingeniously structured novel
explores man's capacity to deceive and damage, nothing is quite as it
first appears. “Carvalho’s is a bold talent.”—Scotland on
