A Fatal Inversion — Barbara Vine

Something grisly was dug up in the pet cemetery at Wyvis Hall in Suffolk--the unmistakably human bones of a woman and a child. When businessman Adam Verne-Smith learns of the police investigation into the anonymous bones, he knows that the dark, desperate act he and a group of intimate friends covered up at Wyvis Hall years ago is dangerously close to being revealed. Adam and his friends each had a reason for wanting to forget what happened that long, freakishly hot British summer of 1976, when their dream of an idyllic, bohemian commune was shattered. But what was the crime? Was it murder? Who were the hapless victims? And how chillingly far will Adam and his friends go to ensure that the past stays dead--and buried?
