DI Gordon Edmonds searches for a mysterious mansion called Slade House, to follow up the unlikely sighting of a missing mother and son. Read by Robin Laing.
Behind a small iron door in a twisting alley lies Slade House, an eerie mansion that is somehow too large for the space it occupies. Every nine years, a 'guest' is summoned to the house but why has that person been chosen, and by whom? David Mitchell's chilling new novel unfolds over decades and is a spine-tingling, wintry delight.
