Cr�ticas:

"The story line is fascinating"--Library Journal

"Quinn's third case, which anticipates cin�ma v�rit� by nearly a century, benefits greatly from Morris' colorful period-flavor prose."--Kirkus Reviews

"Ruth Rendell fans open to stories set a century ago will be well satisfied."--Publishers Weekly Starred Review

"At once fascinating and repelling, this is a gripping read but not one for the fainthearted or easily spooked."--Booklist

Rese�a del editor:

April, 1914. Against his better judgement, Detective Inspector Silas Quinn is attending the premiere of the new motion picture by notorious Austrian film-maker Konrad Waechter. But the glamorous event is interrupted by the piercing screams of a young woman in the street outside. She has been viciously mutilated in a horrific attack which eerily echoes a macabre act of violence in Waechter's film.
As he questions those who attended the premiere, Quinn's jaundiced view of the fledgling film industry as a business based on illusion and pretence, where no one is what they seem, appears to be justified. But when members of London's Establishment start to receive bizarre hand-delivered parcels containing the strangest of contents, the investigation takes a disturbing twist.
