The Missing Book of Shelthorps

Sometimes books choose their readers and lead them along. Iris Byrne receives an invitation to Clayhit Court, an ancient 16th-century mansion, seemingly made up of secret staircases, cold corridors, and huge windows. A rare copy of Peter Etheridge's novel «The Raven of Things» goes missing from the house's owners. Soon, one of the guests dies here. Clayhit Court shuts down like a box with a secret. Each of its inhabitants has their own reason to be silent and their own key to the puzzle. The killer is one of them, and all the threads lead to the missing book. Some try to get it, while others seek to destroy it. What secret does it hold? And who is ready to commit murder for it?
