Synopsis
Do you see ghosts?
Photographer Abner Cray arrives in Manhattan to begin work on an illustrated
book of the city. However he finds that Art, the owner of the flat he is staying
in, has gone missing, leaving behind a beguiling and sensuous young lady called
Phyllis Pellaprat to whom he's instantly attracted. Soon Abner is deeply
involved with Phyllis and is wholly unprepared for the revelation that Art is
actually wanted for her murder - an event which took place some time earlier.
When Phyllis disappears, Abner wanders the streets, and he sees what appear to
be disaffected and strangly acting people everywhere - hailing taxis, selling
puppies on street corners, pushing baby carriages, and he starts to suspect...
This classic novel was first published nearly twenty-five years ago: it's a
hypnotic, spooky page-turner that is by turns a terrifying slide into madness
and an effective love story.
