About the book
If Philippa Penhow had not visited Bleeding Heart Square on that cold day in January, perhaps everyone's life would have turned out differently...
1934, and the once elegant London cul-de-sac of Bleeding Heart Square has fallen into disrepair, becoming an unlikely sanctuary for Lydia Langstone, an aristocrat fleeing her abusive marriage. With no one else to turn to, she seeks refuge with Captain Ingleby-Lewis, a gentleman fallen on hard times and lodging at number 7.
Unbeknownst to Lydia, a dark secret lurks within the walls of 7 Bleeding Heart Square. What became of Miss Penhow, the house's owner who disappeared four years prior? Why is a shady detective keeping watch over the square? What drives journalist Rory Wentwood to uncover the truth about Miss Penhow's whereabouts? And why are decaying hearts being delivered to Joseph Serridge, the last person to have seen Miss Penhow alive?
Legend has it that the Devil once danced in Bleeding Heart Square - but is there a new, malevolent presence haunting its shadows?
