Very Good in Dustjacket. 0312708491. 272 pages. hardcover. . keywords: Mystery South Africa . FROM THE PUBLISHER - Sophisticated, chilling, and amazingly perceptive, The Secret-Keeper marks the American debut of an immensely talented writer of psychological suspense. The secret-keeper is thirteen-year-old Peter, caught in the intrigue when his parents' marriage falls apart. His father, Geneva banker Nigel Pritchett-Ward, has left his wife to live with his recently widowed German mistress, a younger, sexually more exciting woman. On the surface there is nothing to distinguish this situation from that of countless other broken marriages. But why has Nigel's wife allowed him to keep Peter with them? What secrets is Peter hiding from the adults who surround him, entrusting them only to his diary? And what does Ilsa, Nigel's calculating mistress, want for herself? Soon Ilsa begins to notice Peter's secretive habits: 'You really should not snoop, Peter. Because snooping can be very dangerous. Very very dangerous.' Shirley Eskapa has penetrated her characters' minds to an astonishing degree. Set in the claustrophobic confines of the upper reaches of international finance and Geneva expatriate society, The Secret-Keeper is a mesmerizing, utterly convincing tale of surprise and menace. inventory #167.
