Pale As The Dead
Fiona Mountain
Natasha Blake is a detective with a difference. She's an
ancestor detective, an ambitious young genealogist with a
passion for history, whose choice of career is partly
driven by the mystery of her own roots. Natasha's
investigations are a matter of life and death, involving
secrets, scandals and supernatural happenings; forgotten
tragedies and buried crimes. The trails she must follow
lead her from her Cotswold home to ancient houses, deserted
chapels, overgrown graveyards and into cyberspace. Her
clients could be anyone for whom the past affects the
present - the haunted, the hopeful, or the just plain
curious. The disappearance of a young girl, Bethany,
appears to be linked in some way to Lizzie Siddall, the
haunting, ethereal Pre-Raphaelite model and artist, wife of
painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Lizzie's tragic life was
cut short by an overdose of laudanum. Was it accident or
suicide? Why is Bethany so obsessed with her, and at the
same time so determined to put herself beyond the reach of
her lover, Adam?
