A steamy upmarket psychological thriller set in Deià on the Spanish island of Mallorca.

Lucy’s on assignment. The wild reclusive writer awaits her arrival in his Mallorcan home. She wants the story of his life. He wants her to become part of it.

Villa Rosa hides a dark secret. Beneath Deià’s sunny olive groves are the bodies of a generation. Spain’s unearthed shadow entwines with Lucy’s as her own skeletons start to rattle out of her closet. Will she uncover the truth before it’s too late, or replay the pattern of her childhood abuse?'

The backstory of the book, those 'bodies of a generation', is the Spanish Civil War. The ruling that declared that no acts from the war, even rape and murder, can be investigated or guilt attributed, is being challenged in Spain just now. It's also a deep psychological thriller, a woman coming to see how her sexual behaviour is dictated by childhood trauma.
