The Missing Book of the Shelthorps

Sometimes books find their readers—and guide them. Iris Byrne receives an invitation to visit Clayhite Court—an ancient 16th-century mansion filled with secret staircases, cold corridors, and huge windows. In this house, a rare edition of Peter Etheridge’s novel “The Raven of Things” disappears. Soon, one of the guests dies here, and Clayhite Court becomes a mysterious keepsake box. Everyone who lives there has their own reasons for keeping silent, and the key to the mystery lies within the missing book. Some want to get it, while others want to destroy it. What secret does it hold? And who is willing to kill for it?
