Description
'I loved it . . . Unputdownable' — MICK HERRON
'Mysterious, suspenseful and suffused with paranoia' — ALEX MICHAELIDES
'Fast-paced and exhilarating, you'll be hooked' — HEAT
When Finn Hensen and his sister, Jess, inherit a dilapidated farmhouse in Mallorca, there's just one problem. Their late father, Jimmy, a notorious bohemian, recently remarried, and his new wife is still living there.
The siblings decide that Finn should go to Mallorca to take possession of their inheritance. When he arrives, however, he's surprised to find the house completely transformed by Ruensa and her daughter, Roze. The Spanish police, meanwhile, are asking awkward questions about Jimmy's death...
Are Ruensa and Roze the helpless victims of circumstance? Or will they stop at nothing to get Finca Siquia for themselves?
