Lucy is on assignment. A wild, reclusive writer awaits her. Their whirlwind affair takes her to the highs and lows of Deià.

But something is wrong.

Beneath them lie the bodies of a generation and as Lucy unearths Spain's darkness, her own skeletons begin to rattle the closet. Is she doomed to repeat the patterns of her childhood trauma? Can narcissists ever change? And what is that tapping on Villa Rosa's pipes?

The Silk Pavilion expertly explores the nature of abuse, the power of victims and Jungian psychology, all while being totally unputdownable.
