Paul Bailey constructs a taut, introspective narrative in which the investigator finds himself drawn into unsettling parallels between his own life and that of his suspect — a man accused of murdering his wife. Written with restrained, precise prose, the novel uncovers the fragile boundaries between observer and observed, guilt and innocence, sanity and delusion. Bailey's measured, melancholic tone transforms what might appear to be a crime story into a deeply personal meditation on identity, loneliness, and the disturbing mirrors we find in others.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792198676699,"sku":"2026600003183-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5558de01-05d8-4fe2-bdec-ff72cb5a8085.png?v=1779273332","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600003183-secondhand-a-distant-likeness","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
