Scarhaven Keep, by J. S. Fletcher, is a classic missing-man mystery. When a famous actor disappears, the search leads playwright Richard Copplestone to the seaside town of Scarhaven on the coast of England. Every clue seems to raise more questions than it solves, and Copplestone uncovers layer after layer of dark secrets, many of them involving the attractive Audrey Greyle and her family. But the intrigue goes far deeper than anyone in Scarhaven suspects. If Copplestone does not discover the truth soon, he risks endangering the lives of the friends he has made in Scarhaven, including Audrey.
