A HAUNTING, gripping novel, part murder mystery, part psychological thriller.

Teenager Robert's parents are brutally murdered in their own home one afternoon.

As he struggles to come to terms with this and is fostered by his uncle and aunt, he begins to realise that the murder is even stranger than it first seems.

Bit by bit he pieces together the clues and begins to suspect his own uncle, his father's close work colleague, and his father's hitherto unknown French lover.

The truth is even more horrific, but its discovery at last brings Robert's harrowing psychological journey towards some kind of closure and reconciliation. (Age 11+)
