Lights Down
by Graham Hurley

Lights Down . . . when debts owed must be paid in blood.

Actress Enora Andressen is facing the perfect storm. Her favourite French director, Remy Despret, has lost his touch and is keeping dangerous company. Her agent, Rosa, has been seduced by a kiss-and-tell novel of doubtful provenance. While H, sicker by the day at home at Flixcombe Manor, is battling both Long Covid and something far darker.

Devoting herself to H, Enora needs good news, and it arrives in the shape of a fascinating Remy idea based on Flixcombe’s role during the Second World War. But the tonic soon turns sour when Enora is drawn into the project, with chilling consequences.
