"'A tour de force' Good Book Guide 'Thoroughly sharp, modern, witty, and literate' Margaret Yorke 'The fresh and lively style of Judith Cutler's writing always appeals and I look forward to the next one' Bernard Knight" --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Product Description
Lina Townend is the orphaned natural daughter of somebody, somewhere. For the first time, at nineteen, she’s pretty happy, living with kind-hearted antique dealer Griff, who combines the roles of grandfather and employer. But there is still something missing: she wants to find her real family, despite Griff’s fears that she may uncover things she’d rather not know.

Product Description
Lina Townend is the orphaned natural daughter of somebody, somewhere. For the first time, at nineteen, she’s pretty happy, living with kind-hearted antique dealer Griff, who combines the roles of grandfather and employer. But there is still something missing: she wants to find her real family, despite Griff’s fears that she may uncover things she’d rather not know.
When Lina comes across a page from Natura Rerum, a rare sixteenth century book, which she remembers from early childhood, she snaps up the chance to buy it. She has a vivid memory of being taken as a child to a stately home, where a man she believes must have been her father gave her this book to keep her quiet. If she can locate the book, maybe she can find her father.
However, in the weeks that follow, a series of violent burglaries and attacks make Lina realize that what she found might have been more than just a link to her father. Undeterred, she carries on in her dangerous search, but will it lead her to happiness, or bitter disappointment?
