Description
Two families haunted by a sinister past
When Esme Quentin is engaged to research the history of an ancient mill owned by her client, Anna Brannock, she stumbles upon a bitter family feud, tales of witchcraft and a century-old allegation of murder.
As Esme digs deeper, the past begins to converge on the present, when Anna becomes the target of a disturbing campaign, echoing menacing events from many years before.
Can a 19th century curse still wield its formidable power? What connects Anna with the 24 year-old mystery concerning the whereabouts of the charismatic Ellen Tucker?
Esme must uncover the truth to save Anna from becoming a 21st century victim, in a cruel repetition of her ancestor's merciless fate.

Person
The time honoured 'box of old documents in the attic' stirred Wendy Percival's interest in genealogy and what she discovered became the inspiration behind her Esme Quentin mystery novels.
Wendy shares the intriguing, sometimes shocking, discoveries in her own family history on her website blog and has had several articles published in Shropshire Family History Society's quarterly journal and in Family Tree magazine.
She lives in South West England in a thatched cottage beside a 13th century church with her husband and their particularly talkative cat.
