Times bestselling author for The Physicists' Daughter Can a family's dark history repeat
itself? Estella Ecker has returned to Rockfall House the last place on earth she wants to be.
Years after she ran away from her overbearing father she has been forced back home to walk in
his footsteps teaching at the college he dominated and living in the fabulous home where he
entertained artists and scholars for decades-and perhaps she owns it now because her mercurial
mother has disappeared. At the center of everything-the whispers the rumors the secrets-is
her father's library of rare books which she had been forbidden to touch while he was alive to
stop her. Everyone in town is watching Estella with her dead father's name on their lips and
no one seems to care about her missing mother. Who were her parents really and is the answer
hidden somewhere in the depths of Rockfall House? And who will Estella be if she gathers
enough courage to find that answer? What she will discover is that no one can escape the
secrets hidden in this dark library. Suspenseful and unsettling but ultimately triumphant The
Dark Library by acclaimed author Mary Anna Evans is a compelling tale of mystery family
secrets and the quest for truth.
