The Turnglass

This intricately woven crime tale is a tête-bêche novel featuring two interconnected narratives from different eras. Set in 1880s Essex, idealistic doctor Simeon Lee is summoned to treat Parson Oliver Hawes, who fears he's being poisoned by his sister-in-law, Florence, confined in a glass-walled room. Meanwhile, in 1930s Hollywood, author Oliver Tooke is found dead, leading his friend Ken Kourian to investigate potential connections between Oliver’s tragic end and the secrets of their shared family history, all tied to a mysterious tête-bêche novel titled The Turnglass.
