About this ebook

'Part Moulin Rouge, part Alfred Hitchcock' Grazia

'A sly, erotic thriller concerned with doubleness and duplicity' Guardian


Mesdames et Messieurs, presenting La Petite Mort, or, A Little Death ...

A silent film, destroyed in a fire in 1914 at the Pathé studio, before it was seen even by its director.

A lowly seamstress, who makes the costumes she should be wearing, but believes her talent - and the secret she keeps - will soon get her a dressing room of her own.

A famous and dashing creator of spectacular cinematic illusions - husband to a beautiful, volatile actress, the most adored icon of the Parisian studios.

All fit together, like scenes in a movie. One with a twist that will leave you breathless ...
