La octogenaria Gwendolen Chawcer vive entregada a la lectura compulsiva y a la fantasía de un viejo amor imposible en una mansión victoriana de Notting Hill. Pero su existencia se ve alterada cuando decide alquilar la planta de arriba de la casa. Su nuevo arrendatario, Mix Cellini, es un mecánico de máquinas de fitness con una fijación: los crímenes que John Christie cometió sesenta años antes en una vivienda cercana. Gwendolen no tarda en descubrir tan siniestra obsesión, pero ignora que ésta irá adquiriendo tintes cada vez más macabros.
Elderly Gwendolyn Chawcer and her colorful group of friends become increasingly suspicious of her tenant, Michael "Mix" Cellini, an eccentric with an obsession for a model he has only seen once, who idolizes serial killer Reggie Christie, as his odd behavior and obsessions take an ever darker turn.

Work Description
Mix Cellini has just moved into a flat in a decaying house in Nottinghill, where he plans to pursue his two abiding passions--supermodel Nerissa Nash, whom he worships from afar, and the life of serial killer Reggie Christie, hanged fifty years earlier for murdering at least eight women. Gwendolen Chawcer, Mix's eighty-year-old landlady has few interests beside her old books and her new tenant. But she does have an intriguing connection to Christie. And when reality intrudes into Mix's life, he turns toi Christie for inspiration and a long pent-up violence explodes. Intricately plotted and brilliantly written, 13 Steps Down enters the minds of these disparate people as they move inexorably toward its breathtaking conclusion.From the Trade Paperback edition.
