The Key of the Tower by Gilbert Adair
A novel set in France and with a complex plot of innumerable twists. It incorporates a silver Rolls-Royce, a mysteriously ubiquitous tower, a chic and mercurial Frenchwoman, a rediscovered masterpiece of art history, and a pursuit across the Brittany coastline, with a climax at Mont Saint-Michel.
Gilbert Adair was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1944 and moved to Paris as a young man, because, as he told an interviewer, If you were a film buff in the sixties, you went to Paris. Adair later returned to the UK and spent his time writing experimental fiction, as well as film and literary criticism. His works include The Holy Innocents, later made into Bernardo Bertolucci's film The Dreamers; The Postmodernist Always Rings Twice, a book of literary criticism; and the novel Love and Death in Long Island. Adair lives in London.
