An isolated mansion. A chillingly charismatic aristocrat. And a brave socialite drawn to expose their treacherous secrets. . . . From the author ofĀ Gods of Jade and ShadowĀ comes āa terrifying twist on classicĀ gothicĀ horrorā (Kirkus Reviews) set in glamorousĀ 1950s Mexico.
After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, NoemĆ Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. Sheās not sure what she will findāher cousinās husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and NoemĆ knows little about the region.Ā Ā Ā
Ā
NoemĆ is also an unlikely rescuer: Sheās a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But sheās also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: Not of her cousinās new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by NoemĆ; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemiās dreams with visions of blood and doom.
Ā
Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the familyās youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help NoemĆ, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his familyās past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The familyās once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as NoemĆ digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness.Ā
Ā
And NoemĆ, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind.
