'A HEARTFELT AND CHILLING GOTHIC TRAGEDY' - CHRIS WHITAKER
_PEOPLE COME TO VISIT MY HOME AND I LOVE TO SHOW THEM AROUND. IT'S NOT
THE ORIGINAL HOUSE OF COURSE. THAT WAS DESTROYED THE DAY MY ENTIRE
FAMILY DIED. BUT I DON'T THINK THEIR GHOSTS KNOW THE DIFFERENCE._
Pera Sinclair was nine the day the pilot intentionally crashed his
plane into her family's grand home, killing everyone inside. She was
the girl who survived the tragedy, a sympathetic oddity, growing
stranger by the day. Over the decades she rebuilt the huge and
rambling building on the original site, recreating what she had lost,
each room telling a piece of the story of her life and that of the
many people who died there, both before and after the disaster. Her
sister, murdered a hundred miles away. The soldier, broken by war.
Death follows Pera, and she welcomes it in as an old friend. And while
she doesn't believe in ghosts, she's not above telling a ghost story
or two to those who come to visit Sinclair House.
As Pera shows a young family around her home on the last haunted house
tour of the season, an unexpected group of men arrive. One she
recognises, but the others are strangers. But she knows their type all
too well. Dangerous men, who will hurt the family without a second
thought, and who will keep an old woman alive only so long as she is
useful. But as she begins to show them around her home and reveal its
secrets, the dangerous men will learn that she is far from helpless.
After all, death seems to follow her wherever she goes...
SINISTER AND LYRICAL, _THE UNDERHISTORY _IS A HAUNTING TALE OF LOSS,
SELF-PRESERVATION AND THE DARKNESS BENEATH.
