Product Description
Antiquarian book dealer and Paycocke's House custodian Simon Chance's life is thrown into disarray when his wife Robin leaves him after twenty years for another woman. She has come to terms with her secret past and walks out, hinting that Paycocke's has a creepy and undiscovered history, too. With reconciliation out of the question, Simon turns to their daughters Cassie and Alex for support, but they, too, harbour secrets. Simon's life is further complicated when Martin Sparrow, an ex-colleague he has not seen for a decade, turns up with revelations concerning a Roman manuscript unseen for two thousand years and a hidden agenda of his own. A meeting with local schoolteacher Eleanor Simmons leads Simon to question the history of the house, and his life is again complicated when he realises he is falling in love with her. Together they discover that Paycocke's House is not all it seems to be, and that episodes in its Tudor and Edwardian past have contributed to an underlying malaise which Simon must resolve.
