‘Matchless storytelling, gripping and moving in equal measure. Addictive’ Nicci French
CUMBRIA, 1783
The tomb of the Earl of Greta should have lain undisturbed on its island of bones for three hundred years. Inside, however, is one body too many.
A BROKEN HERITAGE
Gabriel Crowther’s family bought the Gretas’ land long ago, and has suffered its own bloody history. His brother hanged for killing their father, the Baron of Keswick, and Crowther has chosen anonymity over the title for thirty years. But the mystery calls him home at last.
A SECRET HISTORY
Travelling with forthright Harriet Westerman, escaping her own tragedy, Crowther finds a town caught between new horrors and old, where ancient ways challenge modern justice. And against the wild backdrop of fells and water, Crowther’s past will not stay buried.
‘A new Imogen Robertson book is fast becoming something of an event … The characters are enticing and the plot absorbing, with a wealth of late 18th century historical detail’ Daily Mail
