Description

Holland Elson writes best-selling vampire novels, is a talented photographer, and a recluse who's idea of a good time is peering through lighted windows and prowling around in the dark in the name of research. When her wheel-chair bound aunt in London asks her to spy on a local artist she's convinced killed her brother, Holly's up for the challenge. Only the Victorian and Georgian roof lines turn out to be far richer in subject material than she could ever have dreamed so she lingers over skylights and conservatory windows, enscorcelled by interior lives . Her night forays continue until, far above the streets, she chances upon the sound of Shakespeare evoked in melodious British vowels through an open skylight. Stage actor, Nicolas Hewitt, famous for his face as well as his talent, is reading Hamlet and Holland can't resist a closer look into his den. Only the line between one life and another is thinner than she realizes. She slips, crashing through the half-constructed skylight right on top of Nicholas and deep into the shards of a murder scene. Suddenly, she's no longer an observer but a player and in this game the stakes are life and death.
