This psychological thriller is the debut novel by celebrated Canadian author Tim Wynne-Jones, which notably won the $50,000 Seal First Novel Award upon its release. Set in a remote, cliffside house in Nova Scotia, the story follows a couple whose lives are systematically dismantled by a mysterious, unseen intruder who begins living in the "odd ends" of their home. This copy is a first edition published by André Deutsch and is presented in good vintage condition; the dust jacket is protected by a clear plastic sleeve, showing some minor age-related toning and light shelf wear to the edges, while the internal pages remain clean, tightly bound, and free of significant foxing or inscriptions.
