About this audiobook
A white patch of fur on a stray cat slowly takes the shape of the gallows, tormenting a guilt-ridden murderer. His attempts to destroy the creature only lead him to wall up his wife's corpse, unaware that his nemesis is trapped inside with her. The narrative is a masterclass in the psychology of guilt and the self-destructive impulse.
