"""A writer of high tension and terrifying allure."" -- The Los Angeles Times ""…distinguished by an ability to render both the experience of extreme grief and the suspenseful mechanics of a conspiracy plot."" -- The New Yorker ""One of the most powerful and innovative writers in English today."" -- The Times ""With a politically charged narrative intent on sorting out issues of identity and the clash between appearances and truth, this astonishingly rich novel by the author of Oyster will entrance readers the way Mishka's music entranced Leela. Highly recommended."" -- Library Journal ""Hospital turns the mythical tables, sending a modern-day Eurydice to hellish secret interrogation facilities in search of her Orpheus, a musician suspected of terrorist ties….
