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".
