Description
Librarian Anne Adams has found the perfect escape: a job cataloguing the library of Winterbourne, an architectural masterpiece on a remote island off the west coast of Scotland. Surrounded by an awe-inspiring landscape, the library is magnificent, with priceless first editions, a librarian's dream.
However, Anne's early weeks in her new job are beset by obstacles - no internet, a house plunged into darkness every night and unexplained mysteries on the island. After weeks of isolation, upon meeting the mysterious owner Lucien Broussard, Anne is puzzled. Eloquent and well-travelled, his reclusive nature seems uncharacteristic. But after finding a cryptic clue within the pages of a book, Anne discovers that Broussard's collection includes everything from the mundane to the books no one should ever open...
Get swept up in Elisabeth Wolf's chilling and unpredictable mystery.

About the Author
Elisabeth Wolf is a writer of contemporary gothic fiction, creating classic tales that utilize the genre's most beloved tropes - crumbling mansions, vulnerable heroines, windswept landscapes and dark, brooding antiheroes. "Gothic novels sit right at the intersection between dangerous romance and spine-tingling horror, and it's this combination that makes them so irresistible," she explains. "Who wants a happy ending when you could have Mr Rochester instead?"
Elisabeth lives in Edinburgh and has also had eight crime novels published, writing as Alison Belsham.
