Minotaur by John Farris
From the author Time magazine calls the best mystery writer in the English-speaking world, comes an elegant and gripping new novel that blurs the line between psychological suspense and Gothic horror. Kerstin Krist arrives at the vine-covered Lydstep Old Hall in rural Essex to care for John Cosway, a former mathematical genius, who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and kept under heavy sedation. John is the sole heir of the immense Cosway estate. As he takes his daily walks or sits quivering in a labyrinthine library, the rest of the family plots their own ways of coming into the fortune. It is classic Barbara Vine-an absolutely enthralling tale that keeps turning and twisting until the very last page.
John Farris is the best-selling author of novels such as The Fury and Harrison High. Since publishing his first novel the year he graduated from high school, Farris has sold more than 17 million copies of his books and seen several turn into films, including Brian DePalma's adaptation of The Fury in 1978.
