Saltwater Mansions
Paperback
The Woman Who Disappeared and Other Untold Stories
'Thrilling, moving, and searingly profound. I loved it' Chris Whitaker
Caroline Lane lived on the ground floor of Saltwater Mansions, a block of flats in Margate. She paid her mortgage and bills every month. But nobody had seen or heard from her in thirteen years. She had disappeared completely.David Whitehouse becomes as fascinated by the missing woman as Caroline's neighbours, all of whom have their own theories. As his obsession grows, he unearths vital clues that even private detectives have missed. But the closer he gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes that some stories don't want to be told. What if this one was never about Caroline Lane at all?An astonishing work of creative non-fiction blending reportage and memoir, Saltwater Mansions explores the extraordinary hidden lives of ordinary people - and the danger of taking real-life mysteries into our own hands.Buy now!
