The Girl on the Landing

He saw a girl in a painting — and then everything he thought he knew about his life, and himself, began to unravel.

Michael Gascoigne's marriage is pleasant, predictable, and quietly empty. Then, in a gloomy house in Scotland, he glimpses a figure in an old painting — a girl standing on a landing — and begins to change. The change is exciting at first, even seductive. But Paul Torday, the bestselling author of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, is too clever to let his ghost story stay comfortable for long.

The Girl on the Landing is a love story, a mystery, and a careful, unsettling study in what happens when we want to become someone we are not — and something else offers to do it for us.

A gripping psychological thriller for adult readers who love atmospheric fiction with a slow-building dread — ideal for fans of Sarah Waters and Daphne du Maurier.
