When Penny Brannigan inherits a charming, old-fashioned cottage in the North Wales town of Llanelen, she soon realizes she has come into more than what real estate agents like to describe as a desirable period property: she’s also acquired memories, mystery and an unsolved, decades-old hit and run killing. Little by little, as she sorts through her benefactor’s belongings, the cottage begins to give up its secrets. Helped by a small group of friends, Penny and her business partner Victoria Hopkirk discover the sad truth at the heart of the merciless killing of a promising young artist who had been part of the great Liverpool arts movement of the 1960s. Along the way they discover some important paintings that had been hidden for decades and finally bring answers and understanding to a family that had been grieving for too long.
