But when she goes to clear out her older sister's studio, she finds a mess of research and a white canvas that seems even older than the ornate frame it is set in. The closer Mae gets to the canvas, the more difficult it is to pull her eyes away from its mottled surface, its heavy layers of white paint, its peeling top corner she is tempted to pull to see what's beneath. But she doesn't. Not yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMae decides to trace her sister's last steps in the hopes of finding answers, certain that Inez's disappearance is related to the painting. And she knows she is desperate enough to let the strange boy who claims to have been Inez's neighbour tag along, even if his good looks don't help distract from his avoidance of her questions. So begins a scavenger hunt piecing together what they can find from what Inez left behind. One that leads to centuries-old questions best left unasked and secrets best kept in the dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the author of \u003cem\u003eA Guide to the Dark\u003c\/em\u003e comes another romantic and eerie mystery about the lengths we are willing to go for the truth and the ones we love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46761187016940,"sku":"9781250863263","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9547563482633.jpg?v=1756188321"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/meriam-metoui.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
