Walking up a lonely moonlit road over the moor, young musician Felicity Godwin has no premonition of the radical changes coming to her life. Devastated by the loss of her parents, unexplained cancellations of professional engagements, and the boating death of her famous aunt Ciara Rossi, she flees to Yorkshire to seek an elusive comfort in Rossi's final home. Here she finds kindness, companionship, and an intriguing but uneasy relationship with Richard D'Annunzio, one of the great pianists of the age. But what was intended as a journey of memories and healing turns to chilling nightmare as the warm intimacy of like minds morphs into duplicity and terror. Felicity must call upon all her courage and intellect to save her music - and her life.
