2. The Eleventh Floor - A snowstorm, a highway, a lonely hotel...
Devastated by the deaths of her parents and disillusioned with life, Caroline Daynes is in America trying to connect with their memory. Travelling to her mother's hometown of Williamsfield in Pennsylvania, she is caught in a snowstorm and forced to stop at The Egress hotel - somewhere she'd planned to visit as her parents had honeymooned there.
From the moment she sets foot inside the lobby and meets the surly receptionist, she realises this is a hotel like no other. Charming and unique, it seems lost in time with a whole cast of compelling characters sheltering behind closed doors in long, lonely corridors.
As the storm deepens, so does the mystery of The Egress. Who are these people that she's stranded with, what strange secrets do they hide? And, in a situation that's becoming increasingly nightmarish, is it possible to ever find solace there?

3. Highgate - Highgate, perhaps the most famous cemetery in the world, is renowned for its Victorian Gothic splendour, famous residents, its vampire and, of course, ghosts...
Lucy Klein is not only obsessed with Highgate, she works there too, organising tours for those with an interest in some of the finest Victorian funerary architecture in existence. Single, and on the shy side, she is nonetheless content with life, or so she thinks. When she meets the enigmatic Zak Harborne, she realises what she's been missing and quickly falls in love. Suddenly, it's the business of living that interests her, until that too turns deadly.
1972, and Emma Matthews, a history student, also feels as though she's on the outside. After visiting a derelict Highgate with a group of friends, she starts to feel a connection, a sense of meaning to her life, in amongst the tombstones, the crosses and the angels. Returning to Highgate over and over, she discovers both a paradise and a garden decidedly more savage.
Grace Derby is just eleven when she encounters 'the gentleman', tall and with a tall hat, a long black coat and a cape about his shoulders. It is the 1850s and street urchins like her aren't accustomed to kindness from those belonging to the upper echelons. Proffering money for food, for her and her family, he asks nothing in return. Curious about the man with the kind blue eyes, she follows him one day... all the way to Highgate.
For some, it's ineviable, all roads will lead to Highgate...

4. Rohaise: The Witch of Drumlin - Two women, centuries apart, united by obsession.
London is sucking the life out of Kenna Jackson with no way to escape the rat race. Or is there? When an opportunity presents itself, she decides to take it. After all, it's change she craves.
Drumlin Castle has stood for ten centuries and will no doubt stand for ten more. Set in the heart of the Aberdeenshire countryside, it's witnessed the best of life...and the very worst.
Not much is known of Rohaise, who once lived there, only that she was a fiery redhead, the mistress of the Laird, and that she lost her life defending both him and the castle.
As Kenna settles into her new role as Drumlin's manager, she becomes more and more intrigued with Rohaise, determined to flesh out this mysterious figure from a bygone age.
The past, though, is sometimes best left buried.

5. Resistance - One of Struthers' most haunting and most powerful novels to date, both heartbreaking and hopeful.
2010
Due to an inheritance, Hannah Massey buys an apartment in Rome, once belonging to recluse Caterina Ricci. On arrival, she finds it's something of a time capsule, with many of the previous tenants' belongings still there. Intending to use it as a holiday rental, she begins clearing the flat, but there's one room she's reluctant to enter, the second bedroom, which is not only home to Caterina's more personal possessions, but possibly the spirit of Caterina herself.
1943
Across Europe, World War Two is raging. In the spring of 1943, Caterina comes down from the mountains to Rome following the death of her grandparents. She's never been before, and is both fascinated by its grandeur and fearful of the mood there. Bold in spirit, she finds small ways to resist oppression, then meets Tomaso, who is capable of so much more. But with resistance comes reprisal, terrible reprisal.
As Hannah learns, Rome truly is the eternal city, a place where the past is forever present. The glory and the horrors.
