At a funeral in an English country churchyard, a stranger appears among the mourners, a young woman in a yellow coat who claims to be the dead man's secret daughter. Dr Nicolas Harper was respected in his profession and a tyrant behind closed doors. Now that he is gone, his two adult children must confront the truth about who he really was and what he was capable of. His daughter Hilda, a reclusive cat-lover living alone in a marshland cottage, is disturbed but driven. She begins digging into her family's buried past: a father who led a double life, a mother whose early death was never properly explained, and decades of silence that someone may have worked very hard to maintain. Her brother Dunstan, already fragile, is horrified by the revelation. Desperate to protect the family name, he takes matters into his own hands, with catastrophic consequences. Moving between rural Kent and Sussex in 2005 and vivid flashbacks to postwar Oxford and the shadowy 1960s London nightclub scene, You Yet Shall Die builds to the discovery of a long-ago crime and a twist that will stop you cold. Perfect for fans of gripping British psychological mysteries with dark family secrets, complex female protagonists, and elegantly plotted historical twists.
