Synopsis

In an idyllic mountain spot in the Levant, Beatrice Markland witnessed something terrible. She was told to forget what she'd seen and she did; she blocked it out of her memory for good. But over 30 years later, Beatrice - now living in Oxford, married with a daughter - is starting to remember.

'Veronica Stallwood has come up with another first-class page-turner' Oxford Mail
'The Rainbow Sign is a thriller that can't be faulted... Breath-taking descriptions of a desert country eclipsed only by Stallwood's insight into people's minds. The plot, sensed rather than seen, unfolds page by page, alluring and tantalising' Shots

'Wonderful' Gerald Kaufman, Scotsman
