The Fresco of Dommoc Hall

It is 1935 and a young art restorer, Grace Tyler, is taking up a position at the ancient family home of Lord Alvey at Dommoc Hall in Suffolk. A wall fresco, covered up for generations because of sinister rumours of deceit and impurity in the family line, has partly been rediscovered and she is responsible for its authentication and restoration. But Grace finds it is not just in the fresco that secrecy and immorality is rife. The house, its occupants, their relationships, and the nearby Dunwich Abbey are full of underground revelations, some gratifying some frightening, until despite an unexpected romance, Grace finds she is in mortal danger.
