Description

From the author of The Ashes of London, comes a new historical mystery set in the last days of WWII

‘A grand piece of work – a triumph and one of Taylor’s best’ Mick Herron

'A wonderfully unique novel from the master of historical crime fiction. Beautiful, haunting, and quite brilliant' Laura Shepherd-Robinson

England, May 1945

Monkshill Park School for Girls seems a world away from the violence that engulfed Europe during World War II. Yet its lonely, decaying grounds have witnessed a murder.

Annabel Warnock, a teacher with a secretive past, left for the holidays and never came back. Both teachers and girls assume she simply walked out, but the truth is quite different. Her body tumbled from the Maiden’s Leap, a viewpoint on the clifftop Gothic Walk, and was washed out to sea.

But Annabel herself is still trapped at Monkshill, unable to move on. As she haunts the grounds and school, she discovers a hidden world – students, staff and servants are riven with deadly rivalries and dangerous tensions.

And one of them is her killer…
