The protagonist of this novel agrees to play a game where he rolls a die and has to take a suicide pill if the number six comes up. This novel's protagonist reads the confession of the murderer Robert Foulkes before seeing a vision of him. One character in this novel tells of a man whose sumptuously furnished villa burns down on the same day that a Norwegian madman has a vision of a pillar of fire. He also tells of how he was ordered to execute two men by the Germans during World War II, but refused, leading to the execution of eighty men. The protagonist falls in love with a woman who is distinguished from her twin by the scar on her wrist and who variously presents herself as the actress Julie Holmes and the reincarnation of Lily, the dead lover of Maurice Conchis. For 10 points, name this novel by John Fowles in which Nicholas Urfe gets involved in a mysterious "godgame" on a Greek island.
