The thrilling new historical mystery from the acclaimed, bestselling author of The Beholders.

Scotland, 1886. Lil is an archaeologist who has dedicated herself to a life of rational enquiry. But she is plagued by nightmares which haunt her sleep, and by memories of her mother, a famous medium. As Lil tracks down a mysterious doctor whom she believes will cure her of her night terrors, she is caught in a fight between science and superstition, between who she wants to be and the identity she can't escape.

But who exactly is this doctor that Lil so feverishly reveres? And how could the long-lost hoard unearthed at one of Lil's digs reveal secrets from her past?

From the bestselling author of The Beholders comes this unputdownable historical mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end.
