All that I was I gave to you. All that I am you took from me. All that you have I will destroy...

On top of the Yorkshire Moors, in an isolated spot carved out of a barren landscape, lies White Windows, a house of shadows and secrets. Here lives Marcus Twentyman, a hard-drinking but sensitive man, and his sister, the brisk widow, Hester.

When runaway Annaleigh first meets the Twentymans, their offer of employment and lodgings seems a blessing. Only later does she discover the truth. But by then she is already in the middle of a web of darkness and intrigue, where murder seems the only possible means of escape...

´As dark and eerie and gothic as the Yorkshire Moors it is set on´ Stylist

´Vivid, absorbing and wonderfully gothic with shades of Sarah Waters and Emily and Charlotte Bront‰´ Kate Riordan

´Playful and menacing, The Vanishing is a pitch perfect evocation of a classic nineteenth century Gothic novel which confirms Sophia Tobin as a writer of the highest calibre´ William Ryan, author of The Constant Soldier

´The plot twists with admirable zest... Entertaining´ The Times
