'This is a tale of such emotional brutality and moral dislocation that it feels as if it's been wrought by a master, someone who has seen, known and grappled with the world' JULIE MYERSON
He was his own god, he, Julius Lévy, and the power he made for himself. He was beholden to nothing and to no one and his destiny belonged to him.
Julius Lévy learns early in life that kindness is a weakness and love is possession. He escapes his impoverished upbringing on the banks of the Seine, swindles his way through sun-drenched Algiers, and lands in London as a young man, ready to make his fortune.
Hungry for power, Julius becomes one of the wealthiest men in the country. Rich and ruthless, he cares for no one - until one day, he notices his daughter as if for the first time. From that moment on, she becomes his one weakness, and his suffocating obsession.
'Amazingly well-done, powerful' KIRKUS REVIEWS
'A writer of fearless originality' GUARDIAN
'One of the last century's most original literary talents' DAILY TELEGRAPH

She wrote exciting plots, she was highly skilled at arousing suspense, and she was, too, a writer of fearless originality

One of the last century's most original literary talents
Justine Picardie
Entirely unexpected for that period . . . I reject the notion that Du Maurier was 'middlebrow' - she's far too dark, far too subversive for that
