Bleeding
Heart Square |
‘If Philippa
Penhow hadn’t gone to Bleeding
Heart Square on
that
January day, you and perhaps everyone else might have lived happily
ever after…’
It’s
1934, and the decaying London cul-de-sac of Bleeding Heart Square is an unlikely place of refuge
for aristocratic Lydia Langstone. But as
she flees her abusive marriage there is only one person she can turn to
- the
genteelly derelict Captain Ingleby-Lewis, currently lodging at no.7.
However, unknown to Lydia, a dark mystery haunts 7 Bleeding Heart Square. What happened to Miss Penhow,
the middle-aged
spinster who owns the house and who vanished four years
earlier? Why is a seedy plain-clothes policeman obsessively watching
the
square? What is making struggling journalist Rory Wentwood so desperate
to
contact Miss Penhow?
And
why are parcels of rotting hearts
being sent to Joseph Serridge, the last
person to see Miss Penhow alive...?
Legend
has it
the Devil once danced in Bleeding Heart Square –
but is there now a new and sinister
presence lurking in its shadows?
Bleeding Heart
Square will be published by Penguin in the
UK on 29 May 2008, and by Hyperion in the US.
'It's crime, but
I'd hate to think of it being ghettoised, with lovers of good fiction
missing this absorbing and sinister story. There's a big trade and
consumer campaign to come and I'd expect to see this high in the
bestseller charts.' - Sue Baker,
