"Someone killed Richard. Now Richard wants to know why."
New England, 1887. The millionaire William Knight is brutally murdered. His grandson, Richard, the only witness, is shocked into silence, then disappears, presumed kidnapped and killed.
Switzerland, 1905. Alexander von Reisden, "intellectual, immoral, and unstable," is "recognized" as Richard. Despite Reisden's insistence he's not Richard, he is drawn into the affairs of the Knight family--gaining the hatred of the new heir and the friendship of the heir's young fiancee, Perdita Halley.
But as Reisden tries to find out why Richard died, he begins to have unsettling feelings of familiarity. For he is a man without memory of his own childhood, and his obsession with finding Richard is leading him closer to a shattering truth.
And to a killer, still at large...
She studied English at Harvard, where she spent Saturdays in the library reading mysteries, and film in London and Paris, where she sat next to Peter Cushing at a film show and got to pet Francis Bacon's cat. While teaching English, she got interested in personal computers; she and two friends bought 3 of the first 5 PCs sold in Boston. She realized that software could help her plot bigger stories, and she's never looked back.
Her bestselling series of Edwardian mysteries, starring Alexander von Reisden and Perdita Halley, has been published in 14 languages. Two of the books have been named New York Times Notable Books. The Vanished Child, the first book in the series, is being made into a musical in Canada. Sarah's young adult ghost thriller, The Other Side of Dark, has won both the Agatha (for best YA mystery of the year) and the Massachusetts Book Award for best YA book of the year. Her Chasing Shakespeares, a novel about the Shakespeare authorship, has been called "the best novel about the Bard since Nothing like the Sun" (Samuel R. Delany) and has been turned into a play.
Sarah lives in Boston with her family.
