Publisher's Synopsis
A cryptic and mysterious case history apears in the autobiography of pioneering Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung: 'A lady came to my office. She refused to give her name... what she had to communiate to me was a confession. Some 20 years ago, she had committed a murder'. Jung's encounter with the woman had an explosive effect on him and brought him very close to total breakdown. Morris West recreates this episode in a gripping blend of truth and dramatic speculation.
