In the hot summer of 1914 a boy vanishes, never to be seen again.

Now, in 1920, the once esteemed Stilwell family of Darkacre Hall find their already troubled lives thrown into disarray when new evidence leads to the boy’s case being reopened – and this time they themselves are under police scrutiny.

As the dead return to haunt the living, old resentments resurface and loyalties are tested, while secrets risk being unearthed that could destroy them all.

“It’s claustrophobic, addictive and utterly compelling. I absolutely loved it. Highly recommended.”
— M. W. Craven, author of the Washington Poe series

Selected Praise

“Exquisitely written, this haunting tale of guilt and grief treads a perfect line between chilling ghost story and gripping mystery.”
— Tom Hindle, author of A Fatal Crossing
“A clever reworking of the 1920s detective story genre, this is a deliciously twisty-turny novel with an enjoyably unreliable cast.”
— Caroline Scott, author of The Poppy Wife
