Sian, tired of nightmares in which she meets a grisly end, decides she needs to get out more. Joining an archaeological dig at Whitby Abbey, she uncovers a mystery involving a long-hidden murder. Faber's novella is in turn thriller, romance, ghost story and meditation on the nature of sincerity.

About the Author:
MICHEL FABER has written seven other books, including the highly acclaimed The Crimson Petal and the White, The Fahrenheit Twins and the Whitbread-shortlisted novel Under the Skin.

He has also written two novellas, The Hundred and Ninety-Nine Steps (2001) and The Courage Consort (2002), and has won several short-story awards, including the Neil Gunn, Ian St James and Macallan. Born in Holland, brought up in Australia, he now lives in the Scottish Highlands.
Review:
Part historical thriller, part gothic romance, part ghost story, it is further confirmation that its author is a singular talent with a unique perception of the universe. * Sunday Herald * This is a man who could give Conrad a run at writing the perfect sentence. * Guardian * Engrossing ... the writing is spare and evocative and Sian's slow return to health is powerfully wrought. * The Times * With impressive subtlety and economy, Faber raises questions about ... the way in which the past haunts the present and the invisible undercurrents lying beneath human relations. * Evening Standard * Visits the strangest of places and makes them real. * Scotsman *
