House of the Lost - Sarah Rayne

Sarah Rayne talks about her latest book, HOUSE OF THE LOST.

When novelist Theo Kendall inherits the remote fenland house where his cousin Charmery was murdered, he decides it would be the ideal place to finish his new book. But the bleak Fenn House is an uncomfortable place to spend the winter, and Theo begins to regret his decision.

Strangely, his novel seems to be writing itself, as Theo finds himself describing a young boy called Matthew who lives in fear of a visit from the cold-eyed men. Matthew inhabits a terrifying world where people die in macabre circumstances, where they can be imprisoned without trial or reason, their identities wiped from the world forever.

Then Theo discovers that Matthew really existed, part of a dark and violent recent past that threatens to reach across the years to tear his life apart.

And somehow everything is connected to the death of his cousin Charmery...
