Opis

From the bestselling author of 'MOUSE' and 'THE HOUSE OF THE WICKED' Susan and Paul Carmichael's world is devastated when a small-time burglar and drug addict, Eddie Hull, brutally murders their only child, young student Becky Carmichael. Consumed by grief, they both struggle to come to terms with their tremendous loss. Their fragile relationship under mounting pressure, Susan begins to have dreams about her daughter. She is convinced these are not ordinary dreams; Becky is calling out to her for help. But this revelation only serves to drive a further wedge between the grieving couple. In desperation, Susan trawls a number of so-called psychics, but is bitterly disappointed by charlatans and fraudsters. When she finally starts to accept that the dreams are a natural part of the grieving process, she is meets the mysterious Silas Blake. He tells her things no one else knows about Becky. Tells her that Becky's soul is trapped and cannot move on, and that there is an island in the Hebrides called Connalough Point where they will be able to help her. Paul is naturally sceptical, but agrees to go to the island for the sake of their marriage. They discover Connalough Point is a very secretive place, and every precaution is taken to ensure no one outside learns about its existence. Here they meet Helen Blake, Silas's wife, and the dour MacLeod brothers. They also meet the soul fixer... But slowly they discover the shocking secrets of Connalough Point, the real reasons they are there. With events spiralling down into deceit, terror and murder, it quickly becomes not only a battle for survival, but the steep path to a devastating truth... With his acknowledged individual storytelling expertise, D. M. Mitchell pens yet another taught psychological thriller with a difference that twists and turns to its deliciously devious and unexpected conclusion.
