ESCAPE INTO AN ENCHANTING, DARKLY GLITTERING STORY OF GRIEF, OBSESSION, REVENGE AND ENDURING LOVE

PARIS, 1900 Carousel-maker Gilbert Cloutier works tirelessly to finish his masterpiece in time for the city’s Grand Exhibition. But Gilbert is struggling in the wake of his wife and son’s tragic deaths, and as he finalises his creation, a dangerous idea forms in his mind.

CHICAGO, 1920 Maisie Marlowe has come to America for a fresh start. When she unearths a neglected old carousel, she seizes the chance for a new destiny. But fifteen years ago, the carousel was linked to people inexplicably disappearing into thin air – and now history has begun to repeat itself.

Only one person can help Maisie: Laurent Bisset, the Parisian detective assigned to the original investigation.

But neither he nor Maisie suspect that this encounter will change both their lives forever . . .
