Keys.
As the dictionary states, a key is a small metal instrument moulded specifically to fit into a lock and open its bolt.
Something you use to free a locked house. Something you use to release the car door. Something you use to unfasten a diary.
But for Nora Blackwood, her key is something else.
It doesn’t open a door. It doesn’t start up a car. It just sits there, holding secrets and lies within its curved copper.
But what happens when those secrets begin to unlock? What happens when Nora is swept up for the ride, in something she oughtn’t?
Miss Blackwood’s life is about to get much more dangerous than before…
