The Dream of the Broken Horses

Résumé du livre

"Like his psychoanalyst father before him, David becomes obsessed with one of the Flamingo victims, Barbara Fulraine - who was as fascinating as she was enigmatic - and with the bizarre circle of friends, gangsters, columnists, and lovers who surrounded her. David's father believed that if he could unlock Barbara's troubling, recurring nightmare - which she called "the dream of the broken horses" - his solution would mark a watershed in his career. Now David, armed with old new clippings and police interviews, as well as an extraordinary psychological case study of Mrs. Fulraine recently discovered among his deceased father's effects, seeks to use his highly honed professional skills to reassemble the face of her killer. But with each eyewitness interview and each fresh stroke of his pencil, David finds himself being hurled down a path of ever-darkening mystery, obsession, and dread."--BOOK JACKET.
