A mosaic of 48 short chapters - each recalling a specific episode from one of his many visits there (Brodsky spent his winters in Venice for nearly 20 years) - "Watermark" associatively and brilliantly evokes one city`s architectural and atmospheric character. In doing so, the book also reveals a subject - and an author - readers have never before seen.

The award-winning author of The Babes in the Wood and The Rottweiler brings us another terrifically paced, richly drawn novel of suspense and psychological intrigue. Weeks went by when Ismay never thought of it at all. Then something would bring it back or it would return in a dream. The dream always began in the same way. She and her mother would be climbing the stairs, following Heather`s lead through the bedroom to what was on the other side, not a bathroom in the dream but a chamber floored and walled in marble. In the middle of it was a glassy lake. The white thing in the water floated towards her, its face submerged, and her mother said, absurdly, Don`t look! The dead man was Ismay`s stepfather, Guy. Now, nine years on, she and her...
