Summer 1924: on the eve of a glittering Society party, by the
lake of a grand English country house, a young poet takes his life.
The only witnesses, sisters Hannah and Emmeline Hartford, will
never speak to each other again.
Winter 1999: Grace Bradley, 98, one-time house-maid of Riverton
Manor, is visited by a young director making a film about the
poet's suicide. Ghosts awaken and memories, long consigned to the
dark reaches of Grace's mind, begin to sneak back through the
cracks. A shocking secret threatens to emerge; something history
has forgotten but Grace never could.
Set as the war-shattered Edwardian summer surrenders to the
decadent twenties, The Shifting Fog is a thrilling mystery
and a compelling love story.
