After receiving a frantic letter from her newlywed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom\, N oemí\; Taboada heads to High Place\, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She's not sure what she will find--her cousin's husband\, a h andsome Englishman\, is a stranger\, and Noemí\; knows little about the region.
\nNoemí\; is also an unlikely rescuer: She's a gla morous debutante\, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more su ited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she's also tough and smart\, with an indomitable will\, and she is not afraid: Not of her cous in's new husband\, who is both menacing and alluring\; not of his father\, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noemí\;\; and n ot even of the house itself\, which begins to invade Noemí\;'s dream s with visions of blood and doom.
\nHer only ally in this inhospitab le abode is the family's youngest son. Shy and gentle\, he seems to want t o help Noemí\;\, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his fami ly's past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family's once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from pryin g eyes\, but as Noemí\; digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness. And Noemí\;\, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seducti ve world of High Place\, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this en igmatic house behind.
