Publisher's Synopsis
Josephine Tey is brought face to face with her own ghosts when she inherits a remote Suffolk cottage from her godmother, the actress Hester Larkspur. Red Barn Cottage stands close to the site of one of England's most notorious 19th century murders, and holds a time-capsule of secrets that Josephine must unravel to solve the mysteries of Hester's life - and her death. As she gets closer to the truth, Josephine is horrified to realise that the cottage has the power to destroy the peace of a village still stained by the shame of its past.
