Librarian Anne Adams has found the perfect escape: a job cataloguing the library of Winterbourne, an architectural masterpiece on a remote island off the west coast of Scotland. Surrounded by an awe-inspiring landscape, the library is magnificent, with priceless first editions, a librarian's dream.

However, Anne's early weeks in her new job are beset by obstacles - no internet, a house plunged into darkness every night and unexplained mysteries on the island. After weeks of isolation, upon meeting the mysterious owner Lucien Broussard, Anne is puzzled. Eloquent and well-travelled, his reclusive nature seems uncharacteristic. But after finding a cryptic clue within the pages of a book, Anne discovers that Broussard's collection includes everything from the mundane to the books no one should ever open . . .

Get swept up in Elisabeth Wolf's chilling and unpredictable mystery.

Elisabeth Wolf is a writer of contemporary gothic fiction, creating classic tales that utilize the genre's most beloved tropes - crumbling mansions, vulnerable heroines, windswept landscapes and dark, brooding antiheroes. ""Gothic novels sit right at the intersection between dangerous romance and spine-tingling horror, and it's this combination that makes them so irresistible,"" she explains. ""Who wants a happy ending when you could have Mr Rochester instead?"" Elisabeth lives in Edinburgh and has also had eight crime novels published, writing as Alison Belsham.
