Isolated in the English countryside, Solitary Farm stands silent-watchful-harboring secrets long buried beneath its tranquil facade. When Bruce Dundas, a weary Londoner seeking rest, arrives to visit the reclusive owner, he expects only pastoral peace. Instead, he is drawn into a chilling mystery that threatens to consume him.A strange old man, an eccentric young woman, and whisperings of murder and madness set the tone for this gripping tale of suspense. As Bruce explores the farm's eerie grounds and unravels the past of its inhabitants, he finds himself entangled in a legacy of greed, revenge, and unspoken guilt. The shadows that fall across Solitary Farm stretch deep into the hearts of those who dwell there-and soon, Bruce may discover that the most dangerous secrets are the ones closest to home.With masterful pacing and a creeping sense of dread, Fergus Hume creates a psychological thriller that builds steadily toward an explosive climax. The Solitary Farm is a haunting meditation on isolation, obsession, and the dark corners of the human soul. This is vintage Hume-at once eerie, elegant, and impossible to put down.
