  • "A psychological thriller whose protagonists are a psychopath and a college girl in a rooming house in London. He spots her as soon as she moves in, lavishing his attention on her, buying presents, cooking for her. At times she finds it embarrassing, but she is well brought up and understands his loneliness in age. He is in his 70s. One day he sees her go to her room with a man, and that is when things turn nasty. A first novel."
  • "Larry Mann is lonely and is delighted when pale, quiet Amanda, a young student, moves in below him. He brings her presents, prepares meals for her, and is always ready for a cozy chat and a drink in the evening. Amanda's arrival makes a world of difference to Larry, abandoned long since by his wife and daughter. Amanda, shy and kind-hearted, doesn't want to hurt Larry's feelings, but she's not always as grateful as she might be for his attentions. And Larry, uneasy at the weekend visits of her male friend and fearful that he may supplant him in Amanda's affections, broods darkly on the past. Told through Larry's voice, this extraordinarily eerie tale builds to a dreadful and unexpected climax."
  • "Een eenzame oude man raakt geobsedeerd door een meisje dat in zijn pension komt wonen en doet alles om haar op zijn manier te bezitten."
