'Wonderfully vivid and compelling ... A real page turner' Elodie Harper, author of The Temple of Fortuna

'An evocative gothic tale where nothing is quite what it seems' Susan Stokes-Chapman, author of Pandora

'A sparkling gothic debut ... reminded me of Sarah Waters' Anna Mazzola, author of The Clockwork Girl

GOOD SISTER. BAD SISTER. ONE LAST CON.

Paris, 1866. When Baroness Sylvie Devereux receives a house-call from Charlotte Mothe, the sister she disowned, she fears her shady past as a spirit medium has caught up with her. But with their father ill and Charlotte unable to pay his bills, Sylvie is persuaded into one last con.

Their marks are the de Jacquinots: dysfunctional aristocrats who believe they are haunted by their great aunt, brutally murdered during the French Revolution.

Sylvie and Charlotte will need to deploy every trick to terrify the family out of their gold - until they experience inexplicable horrors themselves.

The sisters start to question if they really are at the mercy of a vengeful spirit. And what other deep, dark secrets threaten to come to light...?

Through twists and turns, Spitting Gold blends propulsive historical mystery with a captivating sapphic romance.

'A tale of two sisters filled with spooky spirits, queer love, and high suspense'
