Description
A chilling debut inspired by high-profile cases of abduction and imprisonment that explores the complex truths we are able to keep hidden from ourselves and the gruesome realities that can lurk beneath the most serene of surfaces.
The Visitors centres around Marion Zetland, who lives with her domineering older brother, John, in a decaying Georgian townhouse on the edge of a bleak English seaside resort. Marion is a timid spinster in her fifties who still sleeps with teddy bears, and she does her best to shut out the secret that John keeps locked away in the cellar.
But when questions are asked, and secrets unravel, we realise that John might not be the only one with a dark side...
