Robert Goddard

High on a Cornish cliff sits a vast uninhabited mansion. Uninhabited except for Blake, a young woman of dubious background, secretive and alone, currently acting as housesitter. But her remote existence is going to be invaded when people come looking for the house’s owner, missing rogue entrepreneur, Jack Harkness. Suddenly the whole world wants to know where his money has gone – people are going to come knocking on the door, people with motives and secrets of their own, who will be asking Blake the sort of questions she can’t – or won’t – want to answer. This is Robert Goddard at his nerve-shredding best, a sliver of a mystery which kicks off a juggernaut of a thriller. Join us to hear one of our great thriller writers tell us about his latest best seller.
