A glittering family. A Notting Hill house. Step into their secrets . . .
Notting Hill, 1998.
Dee Delancey - loving mother, grieving widow, sometime model - heads out for the evening, blowing a kiss before vanishing down the crescent. She doesn't come home that night. Nor the one after ...
Her reclusive teenage daughter Elfine refuses to accept she's gone - no one loses both parents in two years, do they? Forced to keep house and mother her maddening little brother Kit, Elfine shuns the help of Dee's chaotic small circle of friends, fearing the news reaching the tabloids and the authorities.
But she finds an unexpected ally in Wolf, an older boy with boxer's fists from the far end of Portobello, an unknown world of dark labyrinthine shops, dusty antiques, human warmth, and misrule, far from the big white villas. A place she feels safe.
But the clock is ticking. And a stranger is lurking. As dangerous forces close in, Elfine faces an impossible choice - she must protect her brother, whatever the consequences.
Twenty years later, when the mysterious new owner of the Delancey family's old house starts digging out a basement, secrets cannot stay buried for much longer . . .
