-"i f - •'
"Freddie Montgomery is a gentleman first and a murderer second . . . He has committed two crimes. He stole a small Dutch master from a wealthy family friend, and he murdered a chambermaid who caught him in the act. He has little to say about the dead girl. He killed her, he says, because he was physically capable of doing so. She annoyed him. It made perfect sense to smash her head in with a hammer. What he cannot understand, and would desperately like to know, is why he was so moved by an unattributed portrait of a p'lain middle-aged woman that he felt compel-^-led to steal it .
"I have read books that are as cleverly constructed as this one and I can think of a few - not many - writers who can match Banville's technical brilliance, but I have read no other iwvel that illustrates so perfectly a single epi^any. It is, in its cold,-terrifying way, a masterpiece" Maureen Freely, Literary Review
"Compelling and brutally funny reading from a master of his craft"... Tovább

"Compelling and brutally funny reading from a master of his craft" Patrick Gale, Daily Telegraph
"Banville must be fed up being told how beautifully he writes, but on this occasion he has excelled himself in a flawlessly flowing prose whose lyricism, patrician irony and aching sense of loss are reminiscent of Lolita" Observer
"Completely compelling reading . . . not only entertains but informs, startles and disturbs"
Irish Independent
