Tallis, a new novel of psychological suspense that reinvents the classic haunted-house tale In the scorching summer of 1976—the hottest on record—Christopher Norton, his wife Laura and their young daughter Faye settle into their new home in north London. The faded glory of the Victorian house is the perfect place for Norton, a composer of film soundtracks, to build a recording studio of his own.

Someone who is determined to make themselves heard . . .
