520 $a"In the everyday world of Fulham's bedsitter-land a crime of possible supernatural malevolence begins to emerge when three lives interlock: those of a girl escaping from a self-centered lover; a middle-aged ex-nun; and a part-time funeral director who has been under police surveillance ever since his wife unaccountably disappeared. Each life holds a private mystery; each character pairs in experience with one of the others; and where all overlap, as in the intersecting circles of a Venn diagram, a terrifying drama begins to build. It is connected with the death on the other side of London of a former school-friend of one of the three. It might have been suicide, but the police believe it was murder, and each of the three in the Fulham house comes under suspicion--and under a strange influence. For the victim had grown up in a world where the paranormal was normal and had displayed unusual power. Was victim the word? Or was diabolical manipulator a better description? Could such a person really reach out and commit a vengeful murder, even from beyond the grave?"--publisher description.
