Can one house hold a lifetime of secrets?
1927
On a hot day in Corfu town as the scent of jasmine and mint fills the air, rumours and unrest swirl. A shock invasion throws the island into uproar – and, amid the chaos, Dulcie Caruthers' nine-year-old son Billy disappears.
Seven long years later, Billy’s elder sister Thirza returns to the island. Honeysuckle and wild roses tumble over Merchants, the house with green shutters and cool stone walls that has been the family’s summer home for decades. There, above the clear blue water of their private cove, she tries to forget the ghosts with a new lover. But she knows nothing of his past.
As threads of love, envy, secrets and betrayal tighten around the family, can the vanishing of Billy Caruthers ever be recovered from?

Dinah Jefferies began her career with The Separation, followed by the No.1 Sunday Times and Richard and Judy bestseller, The Tea-Planter’s Wife. Born in Malaysia, she moved to England at the age of nine, and went on to study fashion design, work in Tuscany as an au pair for an Italian countess, and live with a rock band in a commune in Suffolk. In 1985, a family tragedy changed everything, and she now draws on the experience of loss in her writing, infusing love, loss and danger with the seductive beauty of her locations. She is published in 29 languages in over 30 countries and lives close to her family in Gloucestershire.
