Until we learn that they are ghosts, it is assumed that they are merely mad-especially Elsa. She is sure that a shoe salesman in a Madison Avenue shop is really an SS man named Kiel, long defunct, with whom she had a brief liaison during the war at a British intelligence installation. Elsa's shadow falls the wrong way-always a bad sign-and she practices the kind of unpredictable tyranny...
