Synopsis

Appearing for the first time in English, Deceit is the debut novel by Yuri Felsen, a leading modernist writer of the interwar Russian diaspora. Known by his contemporaries as 'the Russian Proust', Felsen died in the gas chambers at Auschwitz, his life and legacy destroyed by the Nazis.
Written in the form of diary, Deceit is a psychological self-portrait of an unnamed narrator, a neurasthenic and aspiring author, whose often-thwarted pursuits of his love interest and muse provide the grounds for his beautifully wrought extemporizations on love, art and human nature. Modulating between the paroxysms of his tormented romance and his quest for an aesthetic mode befitting of the novel he intends to write, Deceit is a remarkable work of introspective depth and psychoanalytic inquiry.
Like voyeurs, party to his most intimate thoughts, we accompany the diarist as he goes about Paris, making enraptured preparations for the materialisation of his fantasy, observing not only his eagerness, dreaminess and poetic inclinations, but also his compulsive desire to analyse his surroundings and self. Yet amid these ravishing flights of scrutiny we discern hints of his monomaniacal tendencies, which blind him from the true nature of his circumstances. Thus begins an exquisite game arranged by the author, wherein it falls to the reader to second-guess the essence of what really lies behind his narrative.

    "Ring-a-ring o' roses, a pocket full of posies, a-tishoo! a-tishoo! They all fall down..." 
     
    Three years ago, Detective Sergeant Anjli Kapoor faced her most terrifying case—the brutal kidnapping and murder of two young girls, each found with posies in their pockets. The prime suspect, local florist Thomas Blackthorne, committed suicide, leaving the case unresolved and haunting Anjli ever since. 
     
    Now, history seems to be repeating itself. Another child has vanished, with all signs pointing to the same twisted killer. But how can it be, when the prime suspect is dead? 
     
    As Anjli is forced into a sickening treasure hunt around London by a new kidnapper, DCI Declan Walsh and the Last Chance Saloon team must delve into the past to uncover the truth. With time running out, can they decipher the dark secrets behind a seemingly innocent nursery rhyme and stop the killer before another innocent life is lost? 
     
    And can Declan navigate the dangerous spotlight cast upon him by Karl Schnitter's dying wish, which places him and his loved ones in the path of a ruthless vigilante?

    What links the murder of seventeen-year-old Helen Carstairs in 1954 to the murder, over thirty years earlier, of Private Rodney Purbright?The tragic story of two sisters, one pretty, one plain, is key to both murders. The Rowan sisters are bound together by a secret they must keep, and their reclusive behaviour plants suspicion in the minds of their neighbours, who regard them as ‘witches’. Dispensing herbal remedies and keeping a mangy black cat add to their air of mystery and seem to bear out the rumours.It doesn’t take the police long to arrest and charge Helen’s father of her murder. Henry Carstairs is also accused of incest by her best friend and of being the father of his daughter’s unborn baby. According to Inspector Craddock, it is an open-and-shut case, especially when the murder weapon turns out to have Carstairs’ fingerprints on it.But things are never as simple as they seem in the world of Reverend Bernard Paltoquet and his friend Dr Robbie MacTavish who, although taking a backseat in this novel, are watching events unfold with interest and have theories of their own.
