Wealthy patriarch Richard Walker has just died, leaving behind his country house full of the detritus of a lifetime. His estranged family—bitter ex-wife Caroline, troubled teenage son Trenton, and unforgiving daughter Minna—have arrived for their inheritance. But the Walkers are not alone. Prim Alice and the cynical Sandra, two long-dead former residents, linger within the house's claustrophobic walls, bound to the structure and observing the family. Though their voices cannot be heard by the living, Alice and Sandra speak through the house itself—in the hiss of the radiator or a creak in the stairs. The living and the dead are each haunted by painful truths that will soon surface with explosive force. When a new ghost appears, and Trenton begins to communicate with her, the spirit and human worlds collide with cataclysmic results. The novel is a mesmerizing story of family, ghosts, secrets, and mystery that is both an enticing ghost story and a searing family drama.
