Title : Hand Games - Ruth Rendell - Book

Summary :

Writing a biography of her father, the famous novelist Gerald Candless, who has just died: this is a suggestion that Sarah, his eldest daughter, enthusiastically accepts. Had she not, more than her mother Ursula, or her sister Hope, been close to this man she idolized?
What she discovers will shock her: the one and only Gerald Candless known to the civil registry died in infancy, of meningitis! Her father's existence until he was 25—his name, his origins, his activities—is an absolute mystery. What terrible secret drove him to rig the cards like this?
Little by little, the truth will be reconstructed, the real clues intersecting with the veiled confidences of her novels. Blending past and present, fiction and reality, the novelist of L'Eté de Trapellune gradually leads us towards the initial drama, offering us both unwavering suspense and a powerful analysis of the murky forces of the unconscious and desire.
