Описание книги
В центре сюжета романа, Алекс Монтегью II, наследник некогда богатой семьи, который отчаянно пытается восстановить финансовое положение своей семьи с помощью строительного проекта в поместье их предков, Maple Grove House. Младший брат Алекса, Чарли, исчез 27 лет назад во время игры в прятки, трагедии, которая заставила семью Монтегью покинуть свой величественный английский дом в георгианском стиле и переехать во Францию.
Для финансирования своего проекта Алекс получает инвестиции от Джареда Шеннона, американского миллиардера со скрытым прошлым, связанным с семьёй Монтегю: мать Джареда, Сьюзен, была семейной кухаркой, уволенной по подозрению в краже незадолго до исчезновения Чарли.
По ходу проекта происходят таинственные и жуткие события. Какие секреты раскроются, когда Алекс узнает больше о своем богатом инвесторе?
Роман идеально подойдёт для взрослых, изучающих английский и которым нравятся истории об английской аристократии, больших поместьях и запутанных тайнах.

Отрывок из книги
The office was large and looked on-trend opulent–plenty of natural light through large windows, grey walls, black leather furniture and contemporary art on the walls. I couldn’t say that I liked it. I preferred more classical interiors. Be that as it may, it was intended to show, along with its location on the top floor of the highest building in the city, that the owner of this place had a lot of financial power.
The April morning sun shone brilliantly in the clear, blue sky, adding saturation to the professional décor of a site where tens of millions of multiple currencies were routinely made before some people had their first cup of tea. I was sitting in one of the two very expensive-looking custom-made armchairs at a large coffee table in the part of the office where the owner would want people to feel more comfortable, a few meters away from his big meticulously organized working desk with two big computer monitors.

“After six months, my mother was emotionally drained. It was decided that my father would take her to France to recuperate. It was a temporary arrangement. Not sure if you know this, but my grandparents had a château which they had bequeathed to my mother and her sister. After some time, though, my mother developed this notion that Maple Grove House was cursed and persuaded my father to stay in France for a while longer. Each time my father brought up the idea of returning, my mother would ask for ‘a bit longer’, which eventually turned into ‘never.’
At that time, we still had a pig farm that was generating some income. It had been profitable until a few years ago when the tenant died, and his kids didn’t want to be pig farmers. Well, my father went back from time to time to take care of some things, but my mother was adamant she didn’t want to set foot in the house again. Gradually, my father stopped coming back as well and things were getting done through our lawyer.”
