Narrator Noah Gilmore is researching the biography of William Belios, an ex-missionary and once-famous photographer, and spends a week in his household at Outghterard, Co. Galway. Belios is Gilmore's nemesis, his quarry, mirroring his own desires and uncertainties, as he determines to unearth family secrets: the dead wife buried in Africa and the blighted lives of three grown-up children. The eldest, Medb, an erotic illustrator, guides Gilmore down the labyrinth. Their futures demand an erasure of a troubled past as its layers are unpeeled and its perverse roots become exposed. - Book cover.
