"In the first story, an old shingle maker in late 19th century Silesia comes to terms with the state of his life, the death of his wife and his ill-treatment by the niece who has taken over his farm. The second story tells of a master ropemaker in late 19th century Germany who watches over the last hours of his wife who has fallen over the side of some stairs in suspicious circumstances. In the last story, a German Baroness catches her husband cheating on her with the governess, and this leads her to question the whole nature of her existence. It is set before, during and after World War one"--Publisher information.

Shiva Mukti is a hardworking and conscientious psychiatrist, who, in the inauspicious surroundings of St Mungo's - a central London hospital of more than average decrepitude - does his level best to staunch the flow of mental illness. But Mukti is not a happy man, beset by thwarted ambition and sexual frustration, he now finds himself in thrall to the more successful and urbane Dr Zack Busner, consultant psychiatrist at Heath Hospital, and an originator of the once modish Quantity Theory of Insanity. Why is it that Busner seems so intent on fostering a professional relationship with Mukti? Is it his way of putting his junior colleague in his place? Or is Busner - as Mukti begins to suspect - a member of a sinister cabal? And what about the schizophrenic patients Busner refers to Mukti for his opinion, are they merely sick people, or in fact human weapons in a bizarre psychological duel?
