Fenella has been living on the Isle of Man for a year and a half. She reckons it’s high time she took a good look at all of the properties that she inherited from her Aunt Mona. After a long day spent driving all over the island, she and her lawyer end their day in the far north of the island. Among other things, Mona owned a building there that had once been used as a candle-manufacturing plant.

After everything that has happened to Fenella since she’s been on the island, she shouldn’t be as surprised as she is to find a skeleton locked in an office inside the building. What’s even more surprising is Mona’s refusal to discuss anything to do with the building or the company that had once used it.

Can Fenella work out what Mona is hiding? Can she discover what actually happened in Bride over twelve years earlier? Will doing those things mean revealing Maxwell Martin’s big secret to the world?
