SILVER WINNER OF THE WISHING SHELF BOOK AWARDS 2014
REVIEW
Here's a writer who deserves a loyal and large fan-base of readers! I was captivated immediately by the striking settings - especially that of the Shell House at the opening of the book, which is worth the cover price alone. The writing is wonderfully crisp, like a clear window into the souls of the characters portrayed, and the narrative builds with a mesmerising force. A top-notch read! -- Patrick Lavelle
BOOK DESCRIPTION
Harry Rochester made a mistake. Forty years ago he abandoned his daughter who was convicted of a grisly crime. Wanting to right a wrong Harry makes contact with his daughter only to realize events of the past are glue that bind a family full of dark untold secrets.
