Past and present collide on a richly mysterious Nile cruise… From the bestselling author of Lady of Hay comes this atmospheric and gripping page-turner. Recently divorced Anna Fox decides to cheer herself up by retracing a journey her great grandmother Louisa made in the mid-nineteenth century – a Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan. Anna carries with her two of Louisa’s possessions: an ancient Egyptian scent bottle and an illustrated diary of the original cruise that has lain unread for over a hundred years. As she follows in Louisa’s footsteps, Anna discovers in the diary a wonderful Victorian love story – and the chilling secret of the little glass bottle. Meanwhile two men from the tour party develop an unfriendly rivalry for her attention, while showing a disturbing interest in Louisa’s mementoes. Most frightening of all, Anna finds herself the victim of a spectral presence that grows in strength and threat as the dramatic stories from three different eras intertwine in a terrifying climax. This supernatural thriller by the Sunday Times bestselling author, Barbara Erskine, is a historical fiction masterpiece. The chilling secret of the ancient Egyptian scent bottle and the spectral presence that haunts Anna, make this a top pick for fans of horror and the occult. For fans of Christina Courtenay (Legacy of the Runes), Elena Collins (The Lady of the Loch), Lucinda Riley (The Seven Sisters), Kate Mosse (The Map of Bones), and Elizabeth Chadwick (The Royal Rebel).
