Seven people might have murdered Eric Crowther, the mysterious recluse who lived in the gaunt house whose shadow fell across the White Cottage. Seven people had good cause. It was not lack of evidence that sent Detective Chief Inspector Challenor and his son Jerry half across Europe to unravel a chaos of clues. The White Cottage Mystery was Margery Allingham's first detective story, published initially as a newspaper serial.

This is a collection of short stories, demonstrating Tabucchi's themes of ambiguities and twists of fate - the treacherous memory, the hidden intent, the useless remorse, the "little misunderstandings" that can change a life and subtly alter perception. Antonio Tabucchi's writings have been translated into eight languages from Italian and this is the first of several to be published (by Chatto) in the UK.
