Alexander Fox， former owner of an antiquarian bookstore in San Francisco， journeys to a fictional Andorra， a country both beautiful and perilous， following an unspecified accident which has left his wife and daughter dead. Sun-splashed but oddly deserted， Andorra affords a personal refuge to Fox until a series of strange events occur. A handsome， promiscuous Australian couple， one prominent Andorran family， teasing socialites， and dead bodies found floating in the harbor cast a shadow over Andorra s picture-postcard surface. An outsider， Fox falls under suspicion of murder and endures a number of puzzling interrogations. Menacing locals and territorial policemen force Fox to contemplate a desperate escape from Andorra. Strong hardcover performance. * Outstanding reviews. * Excellent track record of Cameron s prior novel， The Weekend， in Plume.
