Publisher's Synopsis
1969, Connemara, Ireland
On the errand of an elusive billionaire, Peter Van Geffon is sent to the village of Lawless in the West of Ireland, ostensibly tasked to find evidence of large potash deposits. Amidst the bleak, hard landscape of Connemara, on the edge of the ocean stands Castle Lawless, home to a family that has ruled the land for generations. Yet Van Geffon's simple task is complicated as he realises that he is being followed by a shadowy man with unknown intentions, and that not all is right at Castle Lawless...
Drawn against his will to Kathryn, the mysterious lady of the castle, Van Geffon finds himself trapped in an age-old conspiracy that threatens to destroy everything in its path.
A gripping thriller by the queen of historical fiction, Eleanor Fairburn, first published under the pen name Catherine Carfax. Ideal for readers of Daphne DuMaurier and Susan Hill.
