House of Twisted Shadows

By J.H. Mann

A HOUSE ON THE EDGE

A DAUGHTER DRIVEN TO OBSESSION

A FORBIDDEN LOVE

Winter 1962. Amelia Tremayne has spent the past ten years in London trying to forget the lonely clifftop house where her father was killed. Tyler House was built shortly before the Second World War on Cornwall's stormy coast by a wealthy German outsider. Its most unsettling feature is a vast glass dome that bends the light, casting twisted, elongated shadows across the walls.

Amelia's father, Douglas Tremayne, a noted historian, was researching a controversial book about Tyler House's Nazi origins - and its links to powerful figures in the local community.

As Amelia begins to uncover the truth about her father's death, she is pulled into a web of buried secrets - and into a forbidden love that could destroy everything she holds dear.

House of Twisted Shadows was inspired by the true story of an eerie, isolated mansion house built by a wealthy German in 1934. The house in this story shared many of the features of the real house, including the vast glass dome.
