Synopsis

Young American antiques dealer, Charles, is captivated by the enigmatic Mrs Hoogstraten when he finds her giving him the once-over at a London flea market. She is married to the brilliant but stifling Hoogstraten, a wealthy collector of unfathomable objects. But her look tells Charles that she's ready for a change.





Charles's shiftless existence takes on a new purpose as he searches for increasingly bizarre contraptions to satisfy Hoogstraten's peculiar appetite and so to get nearer to Mrs Hoogstraten. The trail leads to a mysterious young woman, a narrow-boat laden with Egyptian antiquities, and the sinister Dr MacGregor. When Charles returns to London, he finds that Mrs Hoogstraten is about to leave . . . and wants him to join her on a night train to Venice. Charles sees his dreams about to come true - but what is he getting himself into? Is he just another 'thing' to be used in the Hoogstraten game of manipulation, obsession and desire? What do the Hoogstratens really want? A night of passion unleashes uncontrollable forces in this extraordinary tale of mystery, romance, antique mechanical objects, and murder.
