To Lay a Ghost

When Sir Silas Fortescue, a wealthy baronet killed in a hunting accident in 1769, meets Julia, the daughter of a present day builder supervising the restoration of Silas’ ancestral home, emotions are awakened within each of them that neither can ignore. Silas is haunted by old memories previously long forgotten, Julia by something she cannot explain. Inevitably, inextricably they are drawn to each other, until a tragic twist of history seems certain to repeat itself and Silas is faced with the most terrible dilemma. This is the tale of a family tragedy, a mystery and a love story that spans more than 250 years.
