Summer 1924: On the eve of a glittering society party, by the lake of a grand English country house, a young poet takes his life. The only witnesses, sisters Hannah and Emmeline Hartford, will never speak to each other again. Winter 1999: Grace Bradley, 98, one-time housemaid at Riverton Manor, is visited by a young director making a film about the poet's suicide. Ghosts awaken, and memories long consigned to the dark reaches of Grace's mind begin to sneak back through the cracks. A shocking secret threatens to emerge—something history has forgotten but Grace never could. Set against the backdrop of the war-shattered Edwardian summer, surrendering to the decadent twenties, The Shifting Fog is a thrilling mystery and a compelling love story.
