Following her acclaimed debut Little
Darlings,Melanie Golding's newest
folkloric suspense is a spine-tingling twist on Celtic
mythology.
One dark December night, in a
small seaside town, a little girl is found abandoned. When
her mother finally arrives, authorities release the pair,
believing it to be an innocent case of a toddler running
off.
Gregor, a seemingly single man, is found
bludgeoned and left for dead in his apartment, but the
discovery of children's toys raises more questions than
answers.
Every night, Ruby gazes into
Gregor’s apartment, leading to the discovery of his
secret family: his unusually silent daughter and his
mentally unstable wife, Constance, who insists that she is
descended from the mythological Selkies. She begs Ruby to
aid in finding the sealskin that Gregor has hidden from her,
making it impossible to return to her people.
DS Joanna Harper's investigation into Gregor’s
assault leads her to CCTV footage of the mother-daughter
pair from town. Harper realizes she knows the woman
almost as well as she knows herself: it's her estranged
daughter, Ruby. No matter the depth of Ruby’s
involvement, she knows she will choose her daughter over her
career.
Steeped in local legend and
exploring the depths of what it means to be a mother,
Melanie Golding's newest novel is "a lyrical and atmospheric
folktale for the modern age." (Bustle, on
Little Darlings)
