Thirteen steps down a novel

Mix Cellini is superstitious about the number 13. In musty old St. Blaise House, where he is the lodger, there are thirteen steps down to the landing below his rooms, which he keeps spick and span. His elderly landlady, Gwendolen Chawcer, was born in St. Blaise House, and lives her life almost exclusively through her library of books, so cannot see the decay and neglect around her. The Notting Hill neighbourhood has changed radically over the last fifty years, and 10 Rillington Place, where the notorious John Christie committed a series of foul murders, has been torn down. Mix is obsessed with the life of Christie and his small library is composed entirely of books on the subject. He has also developed a passion for a beautiful model who lives nearby -- a woman who would not look at him twice. Both landlady and lodger inhabit weird worlds of their own. But when reality intrudes into Mix's life, a long pent-up violence explodes.

  • "La octogenaria Gwendolen Chawcer vive entregada a la lectura compulsiva y a la fantasía de un viejo amor imposible en una mansión victoriana de Notting Hill. Pero su existencia se ve alterada cuando decide alquilar la planta de arriba de la casa. Su nuevo arrendatario, Mix Cellini, es un mecánico de máquinas de fitness con una fijación: los crímenes que John Christie cometió sesenta años antes en una vivienda cercana. Gwendolen no tarda en descubrir tan siniestra obsesión, pero ignora que ésta irá adquiriendo tintes cada vez más macabros."

Living in a decaying house in Notting Hill, Mix is obsessed with 10 Rillington Place, where the notorious John Christie committed a series of foul murders.

  • "Mix a la superstition du chiffre 13. Résidant à Notting Hill, sous les combles d'une maison délabrée, entouré de cadavres d'insectes, il s'intéresse à Jon Christie, tueur en série qui a rendu célèbre le 10 Rillington Place. Sa logeuse, Gwendolen Chawcer, s'enferme, elle, dans la lecture de Darwin. Mais Mix va succomber au maléfice du chiffre 13, et la violence, contenue jusque là, explose."

  • "Mix Cellini has just moved into a flat in a decaying house in Nottinghill, where he plans to pursue his two abiding passions--supermodel Nerissa Nash, whom he worships from afar, and the life of serial killer Reggie Christie, hanged fifty years earlier for murdering at least eight women. Gwendolen Chawcer, Mix's eighty-year-old landlady has few interests beside her old books and her new tenant. But she does have an intriguing connection to Christie. And when reality intrudes into Mix's life, he turns toi Christie for inspiration and a long pent-up violence explodes."@en
  • "Michael Cellini ist besessen. Nicht nur vom schönen Top-Model Nerisha, sondern auch von seinem großen Idol, dem berüchtigten Serienkiller John Christie. Und so ist es kein Wunder, dass der leidenschaftliche junge Mann sich von Christies Taten inspirieren lässt, als Nerisha sein zärtliches Werben hartnäckig ignoriert."
