A hölgy a tapétában
KÜLÖNLEGES, ÉLDEKORÁLT KIADÁS
Elbűvölő és dekadens... lenyűgöző debütálás.
- Susan Stokes-Chapman, a Pandora szerzője
Néha a sors a falakra van írva.
Tökéletes választás Kate Quinn és Ariel Lawhon rajongóinak.
Párizs, 1788. Az Oberst-gyár művészien megalkotott tapétái ragyogást visznek a francia arisztokrácia palotáiba - és sötétséget azok lelkébe, akik túl sokáig nézik őket. A idilli minták között újra és újra feltűnik egy nőalak: Madame Justine, a tulajdonos néhai felesége, akinek halálát rejtély övezi.
Apjuk elvesztése után Sofi és Lara munkát vállal a tapétagyárban. Sofit magával ragadja a forradalom eszméje, míg Lara egyre közelebb kerül Josefhez, a tulajdonos fiához - ám közben valami hátborzongató összefüggés sejlik fel a falakon lévő tapéta jelenetei és saját élete között. Josef ifjú felesége, Hortense az arisztokrácia zárt világából érkezik. Úgy érzi, a gyár és új környezete méltatlan hozzá, mígnem őt is rabul ejti a tapéták titokzatos nőalakja, s Hortense élete hamarosan rémálommá válik.
A HÁROM NŐ SORSA VISSZAVONHATATLANUL ÖSSZEFONÓDIK A TITKOKKAL TERHES FALAK KÖZÖTT. VAJON KÉPESEK KITÖRNI A MÚLT ÁRYÉKÁBÓL, VAGY ŐK IS CSUPÁN ÚJABB MINTÁK LESZNEK A VÉGZET SZŐTTESÉN?
