Publisher's Summary:
Brought to you by Penguin. A master forger transforms a young woman’s life – but what will it cost her? In post-war Flanders, Adelais de Wolf's family is slowly, inexplicably, falling apart: her mother evermore lost to religious devotion, her father to alcohol. But with the death of a beloved uncle, Adelais finds herself in receipt of an unexpected legacy: a shuttered house in a rundown district and its contents – contents that hold the promise of independence and wealth. All that is required is application, nerve, and a willingness to break the law. Adelais stifles her doubts and her fortunes are transformed. But with her rise comes complications: her victimless crimes may not be as victimless as she supposed. Nor has she counted on the singular fanaticism of Major de Smet of the Federal Gendarmerie, a brutal detective who never forgives and never forgets. Caught in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, will Adelais find that her new life comes at too high a price? Cinematic and seductive, The House with Nine Locks is a compelling and sweeping historical novel with characters you won’t soon forget. © Philip Gray 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025
