- Book Synopsis
- FROM THE MULTI-MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Suspense and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced thriller set amidst the spectacular Cornish landscape, from the bestselling crime writer and author of Holy Island. 'Absolutely brilliant book, loved the twists and turns' - 5-star reader review 'Everything you could want in a summer book - twists that keep you guessing, plenty of suspense, and a strong sense of mystery running throughout' - 5-star reader review 'The suspense had me on tenterhooks, and the romance had me swooning a little' - 5-star reader review Some legends never die... Irish newsreader Isolde Malone has a face many would recognise; in fact, she can't walk through the streets of Dublin without bumping into a horde of fans, all of whom want their picture taken with the darling of broadcast journalism. She's living a dream life and has never been happier... Until the night everything changes. Forced to take a sabbatical from her glittering career, Isolde needs a haven from ordinary life and the support of her only remaining family. So, when a gilt-edged invitation to attend one of her brother's fundraising events drops through the post, it seems like the perfect opportunity. There's just one problem... She must cross the sea to Cornwall. What promised to be the perfect escape soon turns into a nightmare when a body washes up at the foot of the legendary castle at Tintagel, and Isolde soon realises that the ghosts in that part of the world can be just as deadly as the ones she's left behind in Ireland. Trapped in a windswept country house hotel for the weekend, surrounded by suspects, who can Isolde trust?
