About This Book

A man who has secretly killed his lover to protect his social standing becomes haunted by an inexplicable recurrence: the clicking of her tiny red-heeled shoes that follows him like a march of death. The tale traces his mounting dread as the sound, together with hints of the victim's family's mystic character, erodes his composure and forces increasingly desperate attempts to escape or silence the threat. It examines conscience and the fear of the unknown, showing how concealed wrongdoing can produce psychological collapse and uncanny consequences.
