Kun kuulet sen, on jo liian myöhäistäRebecca Netleyn Kalman kehtolaulu on 1860-luvun Skotlantiin sijoittuva hyytävän tunnelmallinen kummitustarina. Vuonna 1860 Elspeth Swansome palkataan yhdeksänvuotiaan Maryn lastenhoitajaksi syrjäiselle saarelle Skotlannin rannikolle. Mary ei ole puhunut sanaakaan sen jälkeen kun hänen kaksoisveljensä William menehtyi. Talven kiristäessä otettaan Elspeth saa huomata, ettei Maryn puhumattomuus ole saaren ainoa mysteeri. Mitä Williamille oikeastaan tapahtui? Mihin lasten edellinen hoitaja katosi jättämättä edes hyvästejä? Entä miksi tyhjiin huoneisiin ilmestyy outoja esineitä ja öisin käytävillä kuuluu kehtolaulu? Rebecca Netleyn esikoisteos Kalman kehtolaulu on tunnelmallinen kauhukertomus, joka jää kummittelemaan lukijan mieleen kuin vanhan talon seinissä kaikuva vihellys. Rebecca Netley on brittiläinen esikoiskirjailija, jonka omintakeisen lapsuudenperheen kodin täyttivät elokuvat ja musiikki. Ne ovat yhä Netleyn sydäntä lähellä, samoin kuin perhe ja kirjoittaminen. Kirjailija asuu Isossa-Britanniassa miehensä, lastensa ja yli-innokkaan (kirjoitusvinkkejä antavan) koiransa kanssa.

The perfect read for winter nights a chilling and original new ghost story. A spine-chilling ghost story with a thrilling mystery at its heart, set on a wild island off the coast of Scotland
