After her mother dies, fifteen-year-old Abi is forced to be a servant in Greave Hall, a mansion governed by decrepit Lord Greave and his tyrannical housekeeper. Abi senses a lurking supernatural presence in the house; when a dark family secret is unveiled, everything Abi knows is transformed. With crisp prose and suspenseful drama, Ford weaves a straightforward yet chilling Victorian London ghost story.
