Résumé

The death of lonely, ageing Ned Jones in his cousin's house is a matter of routine for the police, but Detective Inspector McKenna and his team are drawn into the extraordinary house of women Ned inhabited- Edith, hooked on tranquilisers, floating through life; Phoebe, her acutely intelligent and curious teenage daughter, Mina, Phoebe's beautiful, blank-faced older sister. Then post mortem findings reveal that it was not a natural death. As themes of family, frustration, manipulation and morality interweave, the past casts a shadow over the present in a novel which confirms Alison Taylor as an outstanding talent in psychological crime.
