Krátký popis
A story about stories within stories as four interconnected
mysteries take the reader through the ages, from Shakespeare’s
day to a 19th century Gothic former Priory, to 1920s Venice, and
finally to 1940s California, from the internationally bestselling
author of The Turnglass.We begin with the last testament of
William Shakespeare as he investigates the real-life murder mystery
of his friend, playwright Christopher Marlowe.The second story is a
19th Century Gothic tale about the discovery of Shakespeare’s
manuscript, set in an isolated former priory, turned into a clinic
for those who cannot sleep.The third is a lighter Golden Age
detective tale set in Venice, where private investigator Honora
Feldman looks into a baffling case of theft and murder in the
British expat community, with the Gothic story at its heart.And
finally, a 1940s American Noir as Ken Kourian finds a serial killer
is recreating all the murders in The Waterfall, the companion book
to his friend Oliver Tooke’s The Turnglass.The Waterfall is a
beguiling and intricate mystery that cements Gareth Rubin’s
position as one of the most original authors writing
today.Praise for The Turnglass, the Sunday Timestop ten
bestseller:‘This is a story about stories and their perspectives,
the passage of time and the slow march of the inevitable. Vivid,
resonant, melancholy and beautiful’ Janice Hallett‘Rubin has
pulled off the difficult trick of writing an ambitious novel that
is also an easy, enjoyable read’ The Times, Crime Book of the
Month‘A bold, breathtaking piece of writing that absolutely nails
its two books in one conceit. I doubt I’ll ever read anything
like it again, which is the highest compliment I can offer’
Stuart Turton‘A stunning, ingenious, truly immersive mystery . .
. a thrilling delight’ Chris Whitaker‘An intricate and
thoroughly mesmerising tale of family plots and schemes across
several generations’ Guardian,Thriller of the Year‘Your
initial amazement at his ingenuity comes to sit alongside an
appreciation for the heart and depth he brings to his stories. A
risky idea, beautifully executed’ Daily Telegraph
