Publisher's Synopsis
Important family records and associated memorabilia of the early nineteenth century have strangely gone missing, triggering concern, but scientist Victoria McKenzie and best friend Abby are too preoccupied with arranging a forthcoming cruise break to Harvard University with Victoria's seventeen year old twin daughters, Maddie and Belle, to look into it further. However, onboard the historic cruise ship the Queen Lusitania, circumstances in the middle of the Atlantic become terrifyingly scary and they find themselves facing the consequences of the ignored warning but in a manner that distorts their imagination far beyond anything they remotely thought possible. Forced to accept the challenge presented ... they must completely change the course of McKenzie history or face their own unbelievable fate ... of never being born in the first place. A mystery and suspense mashup of fantasy, history, science, art, romance and adventure, set in sleepy rural West Lancashire where the difficult struggles of the boat people working the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, interact with the intrigue and family disputes of the wealthy Orsbrick Hall country estate owned, since the sixteen hundreds, by the aristocratic McKenzie dynasty.
