Présentation de l'éditeur
Sarah Fortune's name belies her recent life. A beautiful red-haired attorney, she's still recovering from the macabre attack of a now-deceased client, Charles Tysall, who became obsessed with her. The scars on her creamy skin have healed but will never disappear. Now the senior partner in her firm has asked her to travel to the seaside town of Merton to sort out a legacy left to the feuding Pardoe family. It is the same town where Tysall spent her summer holidays.
Sarah arrives in Merton to find that her clients consist of a dotty matriarch, two brothers (one nasty and one industrious), and a daughter sadly in search of self-esteem. And along a quay studded with cheap amusements and fish-and-chip wrappers lurks a ghost, a phantom who may be more dangerous than any flesh-and-blood villain--
Revue de presse
"Brilliant-- A superb novel of psychological suspense that will keep you reading into the night." -The Globe and Mail
"Fyfield is well on her way to challenging the P.D. Jameses of this world for crime supremacy." -The Toronto Sun
"Elegant and Unnerving--Another haunting story of romantic obsession--[with] richly detailed portraits of complex people." -The New York Times Book Review
"Frances Fyfield, a lawyer herself, adds an extra dimension to detection." -P.D. James
"Frances Fyfield is a gifted writer who writes brilliantly about the darker side of English life. She should appeal to fans of Ruth Rendell and P.D. James." -The Denver Post

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. 208 pages. Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter black cloth with silver lettering to spine over black boards with silver lettering F F to cover in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Attorney Sarah Fortune is dispatched to a small coastal town to straighten out the financial affairs of the eccentric Pardoe family. The three siblings and their mother, who is suffering from dementia, own most of Merton on Sea. The business of the estate should be simple enough, and Sarah sees the job as an opportunity for a mini-vacationa chance to get out of the city. But she soon discovers that the family, and the town itself, are afflicted by a past filled with guilt, pain, and unrequited love. Most haunting of all, though, is the legacy of a suicide that took place two years ago, when a beautiful woman with an uncanny resemblance to Sarah walked into the sea and never came back. Fans of Ruth Rendell and Julia Spencer-Fleming will love this atmospheric psychological thriller. Condition: Remainder mark at head end pages else a near fine copy in a fine jacket.
