Writer and journalist David Neff, author of a bestselling documentary about a series of mysterious murders that shook a quiet American town, is collecting material for a new book. This time his attention is drawn to the inexplicable murder of an old eccentric who almost never left the house and even in the summer heat did not take off his woolen gloves. The further David progresses in the investigation, the clearer it becomes that the Old Man with a Thousand Gloves is not at all the harmless recluse that he seemed to his neighbors and rare acquaintances, and his death is connected with the history of people close to the writer himself. Neff transforms from a bystander into an active participant in a twisted crime drama. The Hermit of Primrose Lane is a unique blend of mystery, horror and psychological thriller full of incredible plot twists about loss, remorse and the inevitability of fate.
