Produktbeschreibung

'Blackground deals with guilty secrets, greed, betrayal and murder. Joan Aiken knows her trade.' London Review of Books.

Cat Conwil is an actress on the brink of fame - will love be her saviour of her downfall?

Cat lands a starring role in a TV adaptation of Middlemarch shooting on location at the splendid Knoyle Court. There, she's pursued by the estate's owner millionaire James Tybold - they fall for eachother hard and fast, marry and embark on the honeymoon of a lifetime. But only in romantic Venice as they start getting to really know each other do they uncover the shocking truth - that they met before, many years ago . . .

From this moment everything changes - they both have dark histories, complicated families, and one of them has some devastating secrets in their past . . .

Between a film set, a Venetian honeymoon and a section of the Dorset coast remodelled to resemble a Greek fishing village, award winning author Joan Aiken entwines mortal danger with quirky characters in her captivating romantic suspense novel, Blackground.
