The following morning Mason was found dead at the base of a cliff. The hours leading up to Mason's death were a nightmare to Peter, not only in their violence but in their maddening unreality and mystery. Peter later realized that he had been witness to a blaze of events which were ignited by a tragic conflict between two men: one was Flagg himself; the other was Cass Kinsolving, a tortured, self-destructive American painter who had settled in Sambuco after an alcoholic flight across most of Europe. Mason, leading a hectic, pretentious, Don Juan life, found Cass his natural enemy and prey. Out of the enslavement, the agony, the degradation of their relationship came the salvation of one man and the destruction of the other..."
