Description

In the late winter of 1979, Leeds housewife Ellen Heenan dies in childbirth – abandoning a guilt-stricken husband to insanity’s grasp and leaving four young children to find for themselves. Thirteen-year-old Matthew and Annie, age twelve, know what the authorities will do if the learn of Father’s debilitating madness.

A close-knit family will be speedily unravelled, its threads scattered carelessly to the winds.

So deception is the only recourse – a façade of normalcy that must be carefully constructed to fool prying neighbourhood eyes. And resourceful young Matthew and his sister have the situation well in hand – until a freshly slain corpse turns up beneath the kitchen window . . . ‘Gripping and satisfying’ Chicago Tribune ‘Subtle and surprising . . . Robert Barnard at his best’ San Diego Union-Tribune ‘A sad, sweet horror of a story . . . the suspense is delicious.’ New York Times Book Review
