✦ Synopsis

Set in the lush countryside of Provence,

**Deborah Lawrenson's

** The Lantern is an atmospheric modern gothic tale of love,

suspicion, and murder, in the tradition of Daphne du Maurier's _Rebecca.

_ Drawn to a wealthy older man, Eve embarks on a whirlwind romance that soon

offers a new life and a new home--Les GenÉvriers, a

charming hamlet amid the fragrant lavender fields of Provence. But Eve finds it

impossible to ignore the mysteries that haunt both her lover and the run-down

old house. The more reluctant Dom is to tell her about his past, the more she

is drawn to it--and to the mysterious disappearance of his beautiful ex-wife. An

evocative tale of romantic and psychological suspense, The Lantern masterfully

melds past and present, secrets and lies, appearances and disappearances--along

with our age-old fear of the dark.
