She drew in a breath and closed her eyes for a moment. “Wallace, they think I killed him.”
It is 1921 and two old friends are reunited in a house haunted by a terrible murder.
Sylvia Bright is a modern young woman, fired up by the liberated spirit of the times but she is facing her darkest hour. The body of Sylvia’s husband Michael was found in his room and the police are convinced that she is responsible.

Why was Michael murdered? Is there a connection with his work for the war office? Or was the killer someone closer, a business partner or even a family member? Everyone in the Backward House is a suspect.
Only one person will stand by her, Wallace, her childhood friend. But he has his own troubles, damaged by his experience on the Western Front and haunted by his own secrets. As violence erupts and secrets are exposed, Wallace and Bright must fight to discover the truth in a house full of shadows.
