The Blue Afternoon by William Boyd
A Los Angeles architect is approached in 1936 by an elderly surgeon who claims to be her father, drawing her into an investigation of his past. His story returns to turn-of-the-century Manila, where his pioneering surgeries, a forbidden love affair, and a string of brutal murders converge, and together they follow the lingering trail of a long-lost woman. The journey blends mystery, romance, and history as long-buried secrets about identity, desire, and betrayal surface.
