Book description

Autumn, 1897. Rose McQuinn has lost the love of her ambitious fiancé, Jack Macmerry, and now it seems she is to lose her elusive deerhound as well. Hubert Staines claims his fatally ill stepdaughter is Thane's rightful owner, and Rose cannot refuse to return him. But when she arrives at the family home near Alnwick Castle in Northumberland, it soon becomes clear that Hubert has a hidden agenda. The family's tragic history unfolds, revealing dark secrets that haunt those involved and a series of suspicious deaths. And in a bizarre and unexpected climax, Rose finds herself a likely candidate as the murderer's next victim

'There is an air of Scott and Stevenson in the writing, a splendid evocation of late nineteenth-century Edinburgh that is neither picture-postcard nor Rebus, where historical fiction meets a study of manners and darkness lurks behind every facade' Sherlock Holmesa Magazine
