Clutch of Phantoms

Stockbroker Cass Evesham, her grandmother Livia Claughton, who has just been released from jail after serving twenty-five years for murder, and Julia Gainesborouth, the daughter of the murdered diva, find their lives changed in a remote Cumbrian village. Reprint.

Three women seek to escape the clutches of the past. Cass Evesham is reeling from the abrupt ending of an affair when she gets even more shocking news: the grandmother whom she thought dead is a celebrated murderess, just released on parole. Cass' grandmother, Livia Claughton, moves into a safe house under an assumed name. The last twenty-five years in prison have been long punishment for a very different crime from the one for which she was convicted. Julia Gainsborouth, actress daughter of the famous diva killed in her prime, is determined to restart her flagging career-and settle some of her demons-by starring in a cycle of revenge plays. In a Cumbrian village, remote from London, their stories intertwine in a fast-paced, powerful novel that explores questions about the roots of violence and the potential for change.
