Description
At Trevellin, a sprawling house on Bodmin Moor, the formidable patriarch Adam Penhallow rules his large family through fear, cruelty, and calculated humiliation. When his reign ends abruptly, long-suppressed resentments, secrets, and rivalries rise to the surface, transforming the household and setting its members on an unsettling course. Rather than a conventional whodunit, this dark, atmospheric novel examines the consequences of violence, the corrosive nature of power, and the tragic unpredictability of attempts to bring about justice. Rich in vivid descriptions and sharply drawn characters, it reveals a grimmer, psychologically complex side of the author’s work.
