********************************************************************
'Weeks went by when Ismay never thought of it at all. Then something would bring it back or it would return in a dream.'
The dream always features a drowned person - and the dead man is Ismay's stepfather, Guy.
Nine years on, she and her sister, Heather, still live in the same house in Clapham. But it has been divided into two self-contained flats. Their mother lives upstairs with her sister, Pamela. And the bathroom, where Guy drowned, has been demolished.
Ismay and Heather get on well. They always have. They have never discussed the changes to the house, still less what had happened that August day. But as their love lives start to develop, someone is murdered along the way, and long buried suspicions re-emerge with potentially tragic results.
Death will rear its ugly head once more...
