Sanctuary: A Novel

Big Little Lies meets Alice Hoffman in a gripping debut of dark domestic suspense following four women, a town secret--and an investigation that shakes their Connecticut town to the core. Sanctuary is the perfect town...to hide a secret. When young Daniel Whitman is killed at a high-school party, the community is ripped apart. The death of Sanctuary's star quarterback seems to be a tragic accident, but everyone knows his ex-girlfriend Harper Fenn is the daughter of a witch--and she was there when he died. VV James weaves a spellbinding tale of a town cracking into pieces and the devastating power of a mother's love. Was Daniel's death an accident, revenge--or something even more sinister? As accusations fly, paranoia grips the town, culminating in a witch-hunt...and the town becomes no sanctuary at all. Twisty and compelling with a dash of Practical Magic, Sanctuary is an instant Sunday Times Bestseller of murder, witchcraft, and the dark side of small towns and the secrets kept within them.

V. V. JAMES studied History and English at Oxford where Tolkien was once a professor. Relocating to Rome, she completed her doctorate in the Vatican Secret Archives. She now lives in London.
