England, 1936: A Ventetian woman dubbed “The Green Lady” is hanged in London for a murder she did not commit. Not long after, police are baffled by the killings of two young girls in the East Anglian market town of Pulminster
By 1940, war in Europe has been raging for a year and Eleanor White, who is fascinated by all things Venetian is evacuated to her enigmatic uncle Arthur’s cottage in the nearby village of Inglesford. At night, she hears an unearthly voice in the wind calling her name and is disturbed by a sinister wall mask, which is the image of “The Green Lady”.
Ellie is enthralled when one day, Arthur shows her an eighteenth century canvas that may or may not be genuine and is doubly excited to learn that its origin is shrouded in mystery surrounding a series of unsolved murders. When similar killings start occurring locally, a strange journey to Venice leads her into a world of deceit, death and a supernatural connection with events in both centuries.
The mask. The face. The painting. The murders: all part of an enigma spanning more than two hundred years. Can the terrible secret that links them be unlocked? Or will a cataclysm take place, which will affect the destinies of people many miles – and many years away?
