Silent Elms

The North Yorkshire Moors, December 1849

Lily Grant's husband James disappeared two years ago on Christmas Eve and no trace of him has ever been found. She haunts the halls of Silent Elms, a grand manor house, awaiting his return and torturing herself as to his fate.

Life is made even more miserable for Lily when her in-laws arrive to celebrate Christmas. They all loathe her and resent her close relationship with their father, the patriarch of the family. The arrival of a mysterious stranger who closely resembles James initiates a chain of strange events at Silent Elms that threaten Lily's sanity, leading to a climax which could cause the house of Grant to fall.
