PRE ORDER THE NAIL-BITING NEW THRILLER FROM THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'Claire Douglas is a class act - she never, ever disappoints' LISA JEWELL

When Imogen inherits a country house near Bath, she thinks it's a mistake. She last saw its owner, reclusive artist Dorothea Roe, sixteen years ago, during a tragic summer which she's never forgotten.

But a chance discovery in the study leads Imogen to believe Dorothea left her a secret message. And when rumours begin to swirl that Dorothea was murdered, she suspects that the house might not be the life-changing gift she thought.

Who would want to kill Dorothea?

Could it be tangled up in Imogen's own dark family history?

And what if Imogen is now the one in danger?
