Description
An award-winning novel from a New York Times –bestselling author: The long-buried bodies of a woman and child are unearthed on a Suffolk country estate. When the new owners of Wyvis Hall, a rural estate in Suffolk, set out to bury their pet dog on the grounds, they stumbled upon a ghastly relic: the bones of a woman and small child in a shallow grave. The gruesome find makes stunning headlines, especially so for the previous occupants. A decade before, nineteen-year-old Adam Verne-Smith inherited the property and spent one debauched summer there with runaways, drifters, and his two best friends—none of whom have spoken since that fatal season. Adam is now a doting father and husband. His old buddy Rufus is a respectable doctor. And there's Shiva, whose dreams of upward mobility drifted away. Unhinged by the discovery, they reunite, each with a protest of innocence. As the past slowly emerges, their regrets, desperation, and bitter incriminations get the best of them—and so will their secrets. A master of "deep, disquieting insight into the pathological dynamics of love" ( The New York Times ), author Ruth Rendell's Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger Award–winning A Fatal Inversion is "rife with lost Edens, family secrets and stifled sexual urges" ( Chicago Tribune ). It was adapted for television by the BBC in 1992.
