THE DEEPEST SHADOWS HIDE THE DARKEST TRUTH Esme Quentin is reminded of a painful past when Max Rainsford, a journalist colleague of her late husband Tim, turns up unannounced asking about a story Tim reported on thirty-five years ago - the murder of an old soldier. Esme, wary of Max's motives, declines to get involved. Meanwhile, Esme's friend Ruth, prompted by WWII anniversaries, wants to solve the mystery of Vivienne, her mother Bea's sister, a wartime nurse who never came home. Despite Bea's disapproval, Ruth is convinced the truth will finally help Bea come to terms with her loss and asks Esme to investigate. Esme unpicks the threads of Vivienne's past and stumbles upon a disturbing connection, linking the old soldier's murder to her own distressing past and her late husband's fate. As events unravel, Esme realises that to uncover the secrets behind Vivienne's story, she must also confront the terrifying truth behind her own.

Autorenporträt
Wendy Percival was born in the West Midlands and brought up in the Worcestershire countryside. After training as a primary school teacher she moved to North Devon in 1980 to take up her first teaching post and remained in teaching for 20 years. An impulse buy of Writing Magazine inspired her to start writing seriously. She won Writing Magazine's Summer Ghost Story competition in 2002 and had a short story published in The People's Friend before focusing on full length fiction. The time honoured 'box of old documents in the attic' stirred her interest in genealogy and became the inspiration for the Esme Quentin mystery novels Blood-Tied and The Indelible Stain. She is currently working on the third in the series, where the clandestine past of the Second World War provides the secret world into which Esme must delve to uncover the truth. When she's not writing fiction, Wendy conducts her own family history research, sharing her finds on her blog, www.familyhistorysecrets.blogspot.com. Wendy lives in a Devon thatched cottage beside a 13th century church with her husband and a particularly talkative cat. You can find more on her website www.wendypercival.co.uk.
