Written in Venice, this was one of Henry James's favourite novels.

A literary editor tries to obtain letters and papers that a celebrated author sent to his mistress. Starring John Lynch.

Determined to succeed where his colleague failed, a literary editor insinuates himself into the decaying Venetian villa of the elderly Miss Juliana Bordereau and her niece Miss Tina. 

He clearly wants something from Juliana. But what can it be? A dark and intimate tale about deceit and obsession.
