Publisher's Synopsis

Who killed Leo Ulm - was it in fact a murder? This novel is a portrait of Leo - academic, TV pundit and globe-trotter - who richly deserves his nemesis. The main theme of the book is Leo's womanizing tendencies and the manner in which he lives off adoration, female dependence and love.;Victoria Glendinning is the author of several biographies, including "Elizabeth Bowen - Portrait of a Writer", "Edith Sitwell - A Unicorn Among Lions", "Vita - A Biography of V. Sackville-West" and "Rebecca West - A Life".
