Tony Melville, the innocent narrator, finds himself embroiled in a commercial fraud perpetrated by du Maurier, and only narrowly escapes jail. Fifteen years later, following du Maurier's death in an air crash, the nightmare begins again as du Maurier's adult children return to live at The Villa in a strange and unsettling ménage dominated by the enigmatic and Machiavellian Fontini Conti. This time Tony is not just fighting for his freedom ― he is fighting for his life.” DRIVE
