'Dearest Raye,' Decima had written . . . 'I'm writing to ask if you can possibly come up to Ruthven for a few days. My twenty-first birthday falls next Sunday, and I may be behaving very stupidly by panicking like this, but I would feel much less frightened if I knew you were beside me till after midnight on Saturday . . .'
Dependable Rachel Lord hasn't heard from schoolfriend Decima Mannering for over two years when out of the blue she is invited to Ruthven, the fairytale Scottish castle that her friend will inherit on her coming of age. Her arrival is met with relief by Decima who is convinced her husband, Charles, means her harm.
Is Decima in her right mind? Or is Rachel being duped by her worldlier friend? As the eve of the twenty-first birthday celebration approaches, a shocking event leaves Rachel in no doubt.
From the bestselling author of 'The High Flyer' comes a gripping story of rivalry, deceit and suspense.
