Ein Haus voller Geheimnisse, Angst und Wahnsinn. Die Schwindsucht raubte Dr. Pinecroft mehrere Kinder und die Frau. Nur seine Tochter Louise ist ihm geblieben. Erfüllt von Trauer zieht er mit ihr in ein weitläufiges Anwesen am Meer, das einsam über den Klippen von Cornwall steht. Aber Dr. Pinecroft hat Pläne: Überzeugt, dass eine Heilung möglich ist, lässt der Arzt einige an Schwindsucht leidende Gefangene in die Höhlen unter Morvoren House bringen. Was dort geschieht hat Folgen, die über die Jahrzehnte hinweg nachhallen. 40 Jahre später trifft Hester Why ein, um die inzwischen teilweise gelähmte und stumme Miss Louise zu pflegen. Doch in ihrem neuen Zuhause lauert das Unheil ... Laura Purcell hat mit ihren Romanen eine ganz eigene Art von düsterer, geradezu beängstigender Lektüre geschaffen, die den Leser in einen Hauch von Horror und Unheimlichkeit hüllt. Ist Übernatürliches am Werk oder Wahnsinn? Guardian: »Purcell hat ein sicheres Gespür fürs Erzählen, für Atmosphäre und ein scharfes Auge für die wichtigen Details der Sozialgeschichte. Oh, und sie wartet mit einigen angemessen makabren letzten Enthüllungen auf.« Sunday Express: »Eine viktorianische Geschichte voller Laudanum, Tuberkulose und möglicherweise Feen. Eine kluge, gruselige Lektüre.« Diese Ausgabe erscheint mit bedrucktem Farbschnitt und Leseband.
