Of all my memories, of all my life's innumerable sensations, the most
onerous was that of the single murder I had committed.'
A man comes across a short story which recounts in minute detail his
killing of a soldier, long ago - from the victim's point of view. It's a
story that should not exist, and whose author can only be a dead man. So
begins the strange quest for the elusive writer 'Alexander Wolf'. A
singular classic, The Spectre of Alexander Wolf is a psychological
thriller and existential inquiry into guilt and redemption, coincidence
and fate, love and death.
