What happens after you run for your life?
When does the fear leave you?
The heart numbing, biting conviction that he may never stop looking for you? That the man who said he loved you. The man who said he would die for you, is the man that will quite possibly destroy you.
Caught between living and hiding, Leah must make a choice. She accepts a photo assignment to the quiet shores of Lough Beal. It feels like both an escape and a risk.
But as Leah begins to capture unsettling images through her camera lens, she starts to question her own sanity. Until, finally, on a mist-shrouded night, she must confront the secrets of her past. The darkness that lives both within herself and the deep, still waters of the lake.
CROWFIELD HOUSE, Nora Collins’ ancestral home, a neglected wreck and perpetual shrine to her missing son, Eric.
‘Of course it’s not haunted, it’s just a strange old house,’ Nora tells her children and they believe her.

Reviews
"It’s an early 1990s setting for Monica McGuinness’s Crowfield House, when eight-year-old Eric goes missing, presumed drowned and never found. What really happened in 1994? There’s more than a nod to Edgar Allan Poe in this tense, delicious chiller."
Anne Cunningham - The Sunday Independent
