The mansion was a forbidding, almost derelict place, yet it was Ellie's new home, the house her father had been hired to renovate. As Ellie struggles to forget her mother's brutal death, and as winter envelops the house, she experiences an aura of a love that is hypnotically and fatally compelling.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Jane Brindle is the pseudonym under which Josephine Cox writes novels of suspense. The story of Josephine Cox is as extraordinary as anything in her novels. Born in a cotton-mill house in Blackburn, she was one of ten children. Her parents, she says, brought out the worst in each other, and life was full of tragedy and hardship - but not without love and laughter. At the age of sixteen, Josephine met and married `a caring and wonderful man`, and had two sons. When the boys started school, she decided to go to college and eventually gained a place at Cambridge University, though was unable to take this up as it would have meant living away from home. However, she did go into teaching, while at the same time helping to renovate the derelict council house that was their home, coping with the problems caused by her mother`s unhappy home life - and writing her first full-length novel. Not surprisingly, she then won the `Superwoman of Great Britain` Award, for which her family had secretly entered her, and this coincided with the acceptance of her novel for publication.

Josephine has now given up teaching in order to write full time. She says, `I love writing, both recreating scenes and characters from my past, together with new storylines which mingle naturally with the old. I could never imagine a single day without writing, and it`s been that way since as far back as I can remember.` Her previous novels of North Country life are all available from Headline and are immensely popular:

Présentation de l'éditeur

Many years ago, Thornton Place had been a magnificent sight. Now the isolated mansion is almost derelict; a bewitching, foreboding place. Yet it is Ellie Armstrong's home, the house her father had been hired to renovate. And - still grieving over the recent death of her mother - Ellie has learned to love it.

As winter draws in, the shadows cast by Thornton Place's sinister past lengthen. But Ellie is oblivious. She has found love. A love that is hypnotically powerful - and fatally compelling.
