“A stunning, ingenious, truly immersive mystery. The Turnglass is a thrilling delight.” —Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of All the Colors of the Dark ; This unique crime novel intertwines two stories—read the first, then flip the book to read the second. These separate mysteries run across two different timelines but are inextricably, forever linked—perfect for readers of The Magpie Murders. 1880s, Essex, England: Idealistic young doctor Simeon Lee is called from London to treat his ailing relative Parson Oliver Hawes, who lives in Turnglass House on a bleak island off the coast. Hawes believes he's being poisoned by his sister-in-law, Florence, who was declared mad years ago after killing the parson’s brother in a jealous rage. Hawes keeps her locked in a glass-walled apartment in the Turnglass library; the secret to how she came to be there is found in his tête-bêche journal, where one side tells a very different story from the other. 1930s, Hollywood: Celebrated author Oliver Tooke, the governor’s son, is found dead by apparent suicide. His aspiring actor friend Ken Kourian isn’t so sure Oliver took his own life. He finds a link between Oliver’s death and the mysterious kidnapping of Oliver’s brother when they were children. He also discovers the secret incarceration of Oliver’s mother, Florence, in an asylum. To get to the truth, Ken must decipher clues hidden in Oliver’s final book, a tête-bêche novel called The Turnglass—which is about a young doctor named Simeon Lee … "The Turnglass is a bold, breathtaking piece of writing that absolutely nails its two books in one conceit. I doubt I’ll ever read anything like it again, which is the highest compliment I can offer." —Stuart Turton, bestselling author of The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle "An intricate and thoroughly mesmerizing tale of family plots and schemes across several generations." —Guardian
