Crime & Suspense

Every secret has a price. Some are paid in blood.

Disgraced city banker Malachite Peck seeks a fresh start in the quiet Cornish village of Golden, but when renovations of her bookshop unearth a body, the village is thrown into turmoil.

With her only friend arrested for the crime, Mal is determined to clear his name, no matter the cost. Desperate to uncover the truth, Mal must confront ancient family feuds and suspicions, and navigate the dark secrets of the village.

But when her life is threatened, she must decide: trust the police or follow her instincts? The last time she did the right thing, she ended up in jail. What will it cost her this time?

Fans of Anthony Horowitz will love this gripping whodunnit.

Anna Penrose is the pen name of best-selling author, Liz Hurley. She lives in Mevagissey, Cornwall where she and her husband are the proud owners of Hurley Books bookshop.
