Ghost Song

Ghost Song

A brand new thriller from the author of The Tower of Silence, Roots of Evil, Spider Light and the Death Chamber.

The old Tarleton music hall in London's Bankside is the subject of a mysterious restraint that came into being in 1914 and has kept the theatre closed for over ninety years.

When Robert Fallon is asked to survey The Tarleton, he finds clues indicating that its long twilight sleep may conceal a sinister secret. He joins forces with Hilary, a researcher into Edwardian theater, and they discover the legend of The Tarleton's 'ghost'- a figure whose face was always hidden and who was the first seen in the time of the charismatic singer/songwriter, Toby Chance, once the darling of Edwardian audiences until he vanished suddenly and inexplicably in the early 1900s…

After almost a century, The Tarleton's dark silence is about to end, but there are people who find this a threatening prospect, and as Hilary and Robert delve into the remarkable history of one of London's oldest music halls, they both become menaced by a secret from the past- a secret that has its roots in a shattering event that had to be kept hidden at all costs.

Sarah Rayne is the author of four previous highly-acclaimed thrillers: Tower of Silence, A Dark Dividing, Roots of Evil and Spider Light. She lives in Staffordshire.

Review: If you love a good thirller, this is chilling.
