What you need to know before your trail

One May evening, seventeen-year-old Maggie Parker’s mother walks out of their front door and doesn’t return . . .

With her little brother in tow, desperate to find her mother, Maggie is drawn into a labyrinthine world of antiques and shadowy figures, far from the grand stucco terraces. There she befriends another young person living on their wits. But can he help solve the mystery of her mother’s disappearance?

Twenty-one years later, in a Parisian apartment, Maggie’s phone rings and her hard-won grown-up life shatters. While in London, the new owner of the Parker’s old Notting Hill house is excavating a basement, unaware of what might lie beneath, and the clock starts ticking on buried secrets.

Travel Guide

London, Paris and back to England

Sweeping from bustling London streets, the boulevards of Paris to an old English country house, this is the story of a woman trying to turn back the hands of time before it’s too late.

The streets of Paris and London prove to be bustling and busy and both cities are well evoked. The Notting Hill area is particularly well evoked.
