Sunday Times bestseller Eve Chase is back with a new novel of sisters, secrets and obsession.

Mimi Mott, celebrated designer and style icon, is auctioning off her estate, intent on telling the true story of her life in objects. Her new assistant, Jo O'Mara, is determined to win Mimi's trust. But Jo carries secrets of her own, and time is running out to unpick the past.

Who is Mimi, really? A woman who rose from humble beginnings—but at what cost? What happened in that Wiltshire manor house during the summer of 1969? Who died the night of the glittering summer party?

As the countdown begins, Jo is drawn into a world of obsession, sisters and secrets—and must risk everything to unravel the truth, one thread at a time.
