    Die Rückkehr von John Banville als einem der raffiniertesten Stilisten unserer Zeit: ein eindringlicher, atmosphärischer Roman, der hinter jeder spinnwebigen Ecke eine Überraschung bereithält. 1899. Als das neue Jahrhundert anbricht, heiratet der englische Schriftsteller Evelyn Dolman - ein Schreiberling, wie er selbst sagt - Laura Rensselaer, die Tochter eines amerikanischen Ölmagnaten. Evelyn hofft, dass er und Laura ein beträchtliches Vermögen erben werden und so ein bequemes, geregeltes Leben führen können. Doch seine Hoffnungen werden enttäuscht, als ein mysteriöses Zerwürfnis zwischen Laura und ihrem Vater, kurz vor dem Tod des Patriarchen, zu ihrer Enterbung führt. Das unglückliche Ehepaar reist nach Venedig, um das neue Jahr im Palazzo Dioscuri zu feiern, dem Stammsitz des charmanten, aber zwielichtigen Grafen Barbarigo. Von der ersten Minute an häufen sich im Palazzo unerklärbare und unheimliche Ereignisse. Evelyns ohnehin schon strapazierte Nerven liegen blank: Könnte es am Nebel liegen, der die schwimmende Stadt umhüllt, oder verliert er den Verstand?
