Synopsis


Vulpe Tempest – quirky and clever art student and trainee detective – returns to the City of Light to investigate her next case. She embarks upon a series of journeys that intersect in ways both inevitable and shocking.

Blurring the distinctions between ghost story and detective fiction, Flight of Fancy plots a fine line between the real and the imagined. Vulpe experiences life as a series of mysteries, filled with half-understood connotations and allusions. The crime she must unravel unfolds in ways both haunting and beguiling, calling into question the whole moral landscape of the novel.

In this powerful exploration of the consolations and challenges of love, where Vulpe must wrestle with the conflicting provocations of conscience and temptation, even the houses have stories to tell.
