'Brilliant.' The Times
'One of Upson's most evocative novels.' Guardian
September 1939: The worries of war follow Josephine Tey to Hollywood, where a different sort of battle is raging on the set of Hitchcock's Rebecca.
Little does Josephine realise that the man she has befriended in Hollywood is the perpetrator of a shocking act of violence and is being sought back in Britain by DCI Archie Penrose.
Together, they find themselves on a trail that echoes Rebecca's timeless themes of obsession, resentment and murder.
