ABOUT
THE BOOK

Recuperating from a serious illness, Uncle Arthur finds himself a lodger in a charming Dutch style seaside bungalow, reputed for its old world comforts. But Arthur’s vision of a dream holiday is steadily eroded by the presence of an oppressive character across the fence, with sinister motives.
What is the real significance of the intrigue that surrounds Cliff House Mansion, whose master is away, cut off by the Japanese occupation during World War Two?
The estrangement of a close family member, the plotting of an extraneous force willed to seize control of a business empire, the gracious lady of the Mansion striving to maintain a balance of conflicts – these are only a part of Arthur’s dilemma.
