Family secrets, long consigned to the darkest recesses of the past,
begin to emerge as Dido attempts to unravel the strange happenings.
But with the discovery of a body in the shrubbery, Mr Richard
Montague's unexplained absence becomes all the more suspicious, and
when she finally arrives at the startling truth, it is to change the
lives of all involved for ever.
