The House with Nine Locks by Philip Gray
English | 2025 | Mystery & Thriller
A master forger. A promise of freedom. A dangerous game.
In post-war Flanders, Adelais de Wolf’s family is falling apart: her mother lost to religious devotion, her father to alcohol. But with the death of a beloved uncle, Adelais finds herself in receipt of an unexpected legacy: a shuttered house in a rundown district and its contents – contents that hold the promise of independence and wealth.
All that is required is application, nerve, and a willingness to break the law.
Soon she is caught in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with fanatical and brutal detective Major de Smet of the Federal Gendarmerie. Could it be that her new life comes at too high a price?
