‘You don’t read this book so much as surrender to it. A dark and heady swoon’ THE GUARDIAN

‘As rich is suspense as it is in lush ’50s atmosphere’ ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

He is trying to poison me. You must come for me, Noemí. You have to save me.

After receiving a frantic letter from her newlywed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, socialite Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She’s not sure what she will find – her cousin’s husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemí knows little about the region.

Noemí is more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she’s also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: not of her cousin’s new alluring, menacing husband; not of his father; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi’s dreams with dark visions.

For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family’s once colossal wealth and faded mining empire keeps them safe from prying eyes, but as Noemí digs deeper, she unearths stories of violence and madness.

And Noemí, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may find it impossible to escape.
