Back in 1888, the young, art-loving Harriet arrives in Glasgow at the time of the International Exhibition.

Review:
'A chilling tale reminiscent of both The Suspicions of Mr Whicher and Arthur & George.' -- Financial Times

'Nothing is as it seems in this book ... it hooks the reader in with great, demented power.' -- Evening Standard

'Compelling, suspenseful and highly enjoyable.' -- The Times

'A story that holds you in its grip and makes you skip ahead but circle back again for more of the same - literary crack cocaine.' -- Scotland on Sunday

'Harris has pulled off that only too rare double whammy - a Booker-worthy novel that I want to read again.' -- Daisy Goodwin, Sunday Times

'An absolute belter.' --Bidisha

'A fine storyteller.' -- Guardian

'Gripping ... the pace of the narrative is tantalisingly controlled.' --Times Literary Supplement

'Evocative ... will you plunge you straight back into 19th-century Glasgow ... it's perfect for a long winter evening.' -- Erica Wagner, Books of the Year, The Times

'The novel I enjoyed the most this year ... combines an involving first-person narrative voice, a crime mystery and an alert evocation of the late Victorian Glasgow of those celebrated painters, the Glasgow Boys. It s a sustained and subtle page-turner. -- Robert Crawford, Books of the Year, The Herald

'Quite aside from the riveting plot, the writing itself is pure pleasure.' --Daily Mail

'Harris plays with the reader's expectations brilliantly.' --Independent

'Quite aside from the riveting plot, the writing itself is pure pleasure.' --Daily Mail

'Harris plays with the reader's expectations brilliantly.' --Independent
