    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    A master forger transforms a young woman’s life – but what will it cost her?


    ‘One of the best historical crime novels I’ve ever read’ Frances Quinn

    'A page-turner: morally complex and beautifully written'
    Leonora Nattrass, bestselling author of Blue Water

    In post-war Flanders, Adelais de Wolf's family is unraveling: her mother increasingly consumed by religious fervor, her father by alcohol. But when her beloved uncle dies, Adelais finds herself in receipt of an unexpected legacy: a shuttered house in a rundown district and its contents hold the promise of independence and wealth, if she is willing to break the law.

    Adelais stifles her doubts and her fortunes are transformed. But with her rise comes complications: her victimless crimes may not be as victimless as she supposed. Nor has she counted on the singular fanaticism of a brutal detective who never forgives and never forgets.

    Caught in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, will Adelais find that her new life comes at too high a price?

    'A riveting detective story that turns the genre on its head' Alice Austen, author of 33 Place Brugmann

    'Intriguing, pacy, [with] a host of memorable characters... [it] captures everyone’s heart' Virginia Baily, author of Early One Morning

    'Original and thoughtful' Peter Hitchens, The Lamp
