Introducing unrepentant bourgeois serial killer Morris the Duckworth and his adventures in Veronese high society.

Bored and broke, Morris Duckworth, an English teacher in Verona, stumbles on a plan for financial salvation – to marry Massimina, one of his lovelier students.

And if his intentions are frustrated by a suspicious, conservative family, is it any fault of his that the girl chooses to elope?

Obsessed by self-advancement and excitement, Morris’s dreams of blackmail, theft and murder plunge him deep into a chilling nightmare of deception and violence.

Praise for Cara Massimina

A triumph

Sharp and witty, expertly paced, frequently horrific and often very funny

Times Literary Supplement

An unusually classy thriller, true to life and not to be missed

Independent

Entertaining black humour

Independent on Sunday

Tim Parks presents the real, virginal, boastful, cracked Morris lurking behind his own justifications as matters turn lethal and ugly. Clever, blandly humorous and utterly immoral
