From the author of celebrated historical thrillers such as Daughters of Night and The Square of Sevens comes another rollicking Georgian era-set novel, as down-on-her-luck Hannah tries to get to the bottom of her husband's mysterious death whilst fending off the unwanted attentions of novelist Henry Fielding.
London, 1749.
Hannah Cole's world shatters with her husband's brutal murder. Her confectionery shop, the Punchbowl and Pineapple, teeters on the brink of ruin.
Just as she uncovers a hidden fortune - money her husband secretly possessed - a new nightmare begins.
Magistrate Henry Fielding, the renowned author, suspects illicit gains. To save her inheritance, her shop and her very reputation, Hannah must delve into her late husband's secret life. But, as she unearths a labyrinth of lies and deceit, she finds herself entangled in a battle of wits far more dangerous than she could ever have imagined.
From Sunday Times bestselling author Laura Shepherd-Robinson comes a twisty, immersive thriller where the truth is a luxury that Hannah Cole can't afford and every secret is a step closer to her own undoing.
