Synopsis: In this tantalizing tale of Victorian ghost stories and family secrets, timid, solitary librarian Gerard Freeman lives for just two things: his elusive pen pal Alice and a story he found hidden in his mothers drawer years ago. Written by his great-grandmother Viola, it hints at his mothers role in a sinister crime. As he discovers more of Violas chilling tales, he realizes that they might hold the key to finding Alice and unveiling his familys mystery-or will they bring him the untimely death they seem to foretell? Harwoods astonishing, assured debut shows us just how dangerous family skeletons-and stories-can be.
