It's New Year's Eve, 1972, when a boat pulls up to the Maiden Rock lighthouse with relief for the keepers. But no one greets them. When the entrance door, locked from the inside, is battered down, rescuers find an empty tower. A table is laid for a meal not eaten. The Principal Keeper's weather log describes a storm raging round the tower, but the skies have been clear. And the clocks have all stopped at 8:45.

Birdie Keller wakes one freezing January morning to the news she’s been waiting eighteen years to hear. Jimmy Maguire, the man who killed her sister, has been freed from jail. She leaves for London with a pistol and a plan: to find this man and make him pay. But every story has two sides. Jimmy can sense he’s being hunted. He knew Birdie a long time ago, in a life she’d sooner forget, and he isn’t the only one with something to hide. As the two circle each other in a heart-stopping game of cat and mouse, they plunge into a murky world of family secrets, betrayals, and unsolved mysteries.

Cornwall, 1972. Three lighthouse keepers vanish from a remote rock, miles from the shore. The entrance door is locked from the inside. The clocks have stopped. The principal keeper's weather log describes a mighty storm, but the skies have been clear all week. What happened to those three men, out on the tower? The heavy sea whispers their names. Black rocks roll beneath the swell, drowning ghosts. Can their secrets ever be recovered from the waves?

Cornovaglia, Inghilterra, fine dell'anno 1972. Una barca approda al faro dello Scoglio della Fanciulla, un isolotto remoto a miglia di distanza dalla costa, per dare il cambio ai custodi. Il primo guardiano Arthur Black, il primo assistente William "Bill" Walker e il secondo assistente Vincent Bourne sono svaniti nel nulla. La porta d'ingresso del faro è chiusa dall'interno. Gli orologi in soggiorno e in cucina sono fermi alle 8,45. La tavola è preparata per un pasto che non è mai stato consumato. E la torre è vuota.

On dit que la mer protège ses secrets. On dit que personne ne saura jamais ce qu'il s'est passé au phare du Maiden Rock. Au cœur de l'hiver 1972, à plusieurs milles de la côte de Cornouailles, une barque brave la mer pour rejoindre le phare du Maiden Rock. À son bord, se trouve la relève tant attendue par les gardiens. Pourtant, quand elle accoste enfin, personne ne vient à sa rencontre. Le phare est vide. La porte d'entrée est verrouillée de l'intérieur, les deux horloges sont arrêtées à la même heure et le registre météo décrit une tempête qui n'a pas eu lieu.

In der Silvesternacht verschwinden vor der Küste Cornwalls drei Männer spurlos von einem Leuchtturm. Die Tür ist von innen verschlossen. Der zum Abendessen gedeckte Tisch ist unberührt. Die Uhren sind stehengeblieben. Zurück bleiben drei Frauen, die auch zwei Jahrzehnte später von dem rätselhaften Geschehen verfolgt werden. Die Tragödie hätte Helen, Jenny und Michelle zusammenbringen sollen, hat sie aber auseinandergerissen. Als sie zum ersten Mal ihre Seite der Geschichte erzählen, kommt ein Leben voller Entbehrungen zutage - des monatelangen Getrenntseins, des Sehnens und Hoffens.

Birdie Keller wakes up one freezing January morning to hear that her sister’s killer has been freed from jail. Birdie leaves for London with a pistol and a plan: to find this man and make him pay. She’s been waiting two decades to get him, biding her time: here, at last, revenge. So begins a cat-and-mouse chase that takes Birdie from the grit and grime of city nicks, to wild and windswept moors, to the savage beauty of the Cornish coast, and, finally, to Devon, her homeland, back to the place where it all began – as she vows to finish the story.
