THE CASTLE IN THE GLEN: A Novel Of Buried Secrets And Second Chance

By Kermit Dutton

THE CASTLE IN THE GLEN

When a letter arrives from a Scottish law firm informing Emily Carter that she's inherited a castle from a relative she's never heard of, she assumes it's a mistake. Her mother, Linda, died six years ago without ever mentioning a family, a fortune, or a home across the ocean - only ever saying, there's no one left, sweetheart, it's just us.

But Dunmorven Castle is real. And so, Emily discovers, is the woman she was named heir to: Margaret Sinclair, dead in the glen for thirty years, according to every record that exists.

As Emily begins restoring the crumbling estate, the house starts giving up what it's kept hidden - a portrait with its face slashed away, a nursery that shouldn't exist, initials carved into a crib rail that match her own. And in a locked room no one wanted her to find, an unfinished letter in her mother's handwriting, addressed to a name Emily has never heard her use.

The truth, when it comes, will unravel everything Emily thought she knew about her mother's silence - and put her in the path of the very danger her mother once gave up her name, her home, and her entire life to escape.

The Castle in the Glen is a gothic mystery about inheritance, identity, and the secrets families keep to protect the people they love most - even when that protection costs them everything.
