From New York Times and internationally bestselling author Kate Morton comes an intricately plotted, spellbinding new novel of heart-stopping suspense and uncovered secrets.
Living on her family’s gorgeous lakeside estate in Cornwall, England, Alice Edevane is a bright, clever, inquisitive, innocent and precociously talented 14-year-old who loves to write stories. But the mysteries she pens are no match for the one her family is about to endure ...
One midsummer’s eve, after a beautiful party drawing hundreds of guests to the estate has ended, the Edevanes discover that their youngest son, Theo, has vanished without a trace. What follows is a tragedy that tears the family apart in ways they never imagined, leaving their estate as empty as their broken hearts.
Nearly 60 years later, having enjoyed a long, successful career as an author, Alice is now 80 years old and living in London. Theo’s case has never been solved, though Alice still harbours a suspicion as to the culprit.
Miles away, Sadie Sparrow, a young detective in the London police force, is staying at her grandfather’s house in Cornwall. While out walking one day, she stumbles upon the old estate – now crumbling and covered with vines, clearly abandoned long ago. Her curiosity is sparked, setting off a series of events that will bring her and Alice together and reveal shocking truths about a past long gone ... yet more present than ever.
'Morton's plotting is impeccable, and her finely wrought characters, brought together in the end by Sparrow's investigation, are as surprised as readers will be by the astonishing conclusion.'
Publishers Weekly
'Once again she delivers the satisfactions of all her best sellers ... Mysteries at the core, they draw depth and appeal from her carefully applied layers of family, history, and moral conundrum.'
Library Journal
'An absorbing tale of family secrets.'
