'An intricately plotted thriller, full of detail and invention,
with impeccably realised settings and characters as monstrous as
they are believable. Above all it is a completely addictive story
of two families destroyed by success. Erin Kelly is a genius' JANE
CASEY THIS REUNION WILL TEAR A FAMILY APART . . . Summer, 2021.
Nell has come home at her family's insistence to celebrate an
anniversary. Fifty years ago, her father wrote The Golden Bones.
Part picture book, part treasure hunt, Sir Frank Churcher created a
fairy story about Elinore, a murdered woman whose skeleton was
scattered all over England. Clues and puzzles in the pages of The
Golden Bones led readers to seven sites where jewels were buried -
gold and precious stones, each a different part of a skeleton. One
by one, the tiny golden bones were dug up until only Elinore's
pelvis remained hidden. The book was a sensation. A community of
treasure hunters called the Bonehunters formed, in frenzied
competition, obsessed to a dangerous degree. People sold their
homes to travel to England and search for Elinore. Marriages broke
down as the quest consumed people. A man died. The book made Frank
a rich man. Stalked by fans who could not tell fantasy from
reality, his daughter, Nell, became a recluse. But now the
Churchers must be reunited. The book is being reissued along with a
new treasure hunt and a documentary crew are charting everything
that follows. Nell is appalled, and terrified. During the filming,
Frank finally reveals the whereabouts of the missing golden bone.
And then all hell breaks loose. From the bestselling author of He
Said/She Said and Watch Her Fall, this is a taut, mesmerising novel
about a daughter haunted by her father's legacy . . . 'Moody,
propulsive, and one of the most intriguing set ups I've read in
years. Erin Kelly doesn't put a foot wrong in this atmospheric,
original thriller' GILLIAN McALLISTER 'A feat of real ambition and
imagination - original, suspenseful, and with complex characters
that spring irresistibly to life on the page, this is Erin Kelly at
her finest' LOUISE CANDLISH

doctor's handwriting. Addresses. Dates. Names. Photographs! I had
found the patients whose notes would bring the past back to life.'
A lifetime ago, a patient escaped Nazareth mental asylum. They
covered their tracks carefully. Or so they thought. Thirty years
ago, Marianne Smy committed a crime then fled from her home to
leave the past behind. Or so she thought. Now, Marianne has been

being revealed and her world shattering. She is right to be scared.
