382 pages (large print) ; 24 cm, \"George Lassiter is ill, destitute and desperate. Desperate enough to break into the kitchen of a stranger's house for warmth, food and shelter. And there, on that bitterly cold night in 1922, he witnesses a murder, the murder of a beautiful girl. But what's happened to the body? When the police search the house the next day they find nothing. The corpse has vanished, as if by magic. 'It was a hallucination born of delirium', say the police, and reluctantly George is forced to agree. Even his friend and rescuer, Jack Haldean believes it was a nightmare - but the consequences of that nightmare will plunge George into a tangle of lies and obsession, as George hunts for his inheritance and Jack hunts for a ruthless killer.\"--Publisher description, Originally published: London: Constable, 2009
