Description
A decadent and ghastly tale of cat and mouse unfolds in this new novel by Christopher Bollen. Eighty-year-old Maggie Burkhardt has spent the last five years living in luxury hotels, but she's finally found a place where she can rest. However, her plans for a peaceful stay are soon disrupted by the arrival of an eight-year-old boy, Otto, and his mother. Maggie sees two easy targets, but she's more wrong than she could possibly know, and soon finds herself locked in a death-spiral with Otto. As the conflict between the old and the young escalates, the stakes become increasingly high. The author's perceptive acid wit and dark magic come together to create a twisted and unsettling narrative. Early readers have praised the book for its wild ride, brilliant plot twists, and shocking behavior from the characters. With its unique blend of psychological thrills and literary flair, this novel is a worthwhile read for fans of the genre.
