After a twenty-year absence, Merlyn Cantelo returns to Leeds to attend
his late aunt Clarissa’s funeral. Far from being welcomed back into the
fold of his large and quarrelsome family, he is viewed by many with
suspicion and distrust, especially since his timely reappearance has
thwarted the prospect of a tidy inheritance. However, all is more
complex than it seems. The teenage Merlyn only fled his home at the
vehement insistence of his sometimes clairvoyant aunt, who foresaw for
him a life blighted by violence and death. Moreover, the root of this
danger supposedly lies somewhere within the family. Merlyn knows that if
he is to discover whether his aunt’s fears were justified, he must come
to terms with his tragic past, and delve into the murky history of the
Cantelo family…
