Synopsis

Palette of Secrets is a mystery story about a famous artist, Nancy Miller. Nancy is growing old and is in the early stages of Alzheimer's. She has been persuaded by her agent to publish her memoirs but needs a ghost writer to help her to write them. She finds a young woman called Ana who is keen to take on the job. However, as Nancy starts to recount her life story, it becomes obvious to Ana that the artist is hiding something, so she decides to dig more deeply to unravel Nancy's past. However, when she eventually works out what Nancy's terrible secret is, she doesn't know what to do with the information; should she include it in the book and risk ruining Nancy's international reputation or should she tell Nancy's son what she has discovered? Either way the consequences in this riveting mystery threaten to be devastating for Nancy and her family.

À propos de l'auteur

The Scottish novelist Joan Fallon, currently lives and works in the south of Spain. She writes both contemporary and historical fiction, but has also written a work of non-fiction which has proved the inspiration for at least two of her subsequent novels. Two aspects of Joan's life particularly influence her writing. The first is being a woman who grew up during the sixties and seventies-at a time when it was harder for a woman to gain recognition in a man's world-consequently almost all her books have a strong female protagonist. The second influence is the fact that she has lived in Spain for the last twenty years. Spanish history and culture fascinate her and have provided some of the most exotic settings in her historical novels. She is a member of the Society of Authors & the Alliance of Independent Authors.Teachers Certificate 1972Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Open - The Open University 1980, Post Grad Dip in Management Studies - Brunel Uni.
