Publisher's Summary

The obituaries for Gerald Candless were respectful. He had been, after all, an admired and popular writer, and his sudden death at his home in Devon was a loss to literature as well as to his family and friends.

The trouble was, as his daughter Sarah soon discovered, that it seemed that her father had taken on a different identity that he wasn't Gerald Candless at all. But if he wasn't Gerald Candless, who was he?

strange. unsure

I listened to this book and finding strange never really got into it. Although I listened to the end found I only enjoyed the last hour or so . The narration was the best part . overall disappointing .

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
