About this ebook
This novel about the uncovering of a long-ago crime rooted in domestic disharmony is set in England between the years 1953 and 2005. Hilda is a reclusive single woman who lives on the North Kent marshes with her rescue cats. One day she has a visit from a young woman called Nicky, who claims to be her half-sister, the "love child" of Hilda’s father who has recently died. When Hilda’s brother Dunstan hears about Nicky he is enraged. Dunstan is already on the verge of mental and physical collapse following the death of the father he idolized, the loss of his job, the breakdown of his marriage and his financial woes. Seeing Nicky’s arrival as a threat to his family’s reputation and his own inheritance, he turns to desperate measures which almost end in tragedy. This compels Hilda to investigate the shocking truth about her parent's marriage, her father’s past and her mother’s untimely death. What starts off as a gentle story about the psychology of family relationships develops into something much darker, but there is hope of a brighter future for the main characters by the end. Informed by the author's background in general medicine and psychiatry, this novel contains some clinical detail about mental and physical disorders, but there is no graphic material. It would fit the sub-genre described as domestic noir.
