A brass flamingo found in a dusty antique shop. A lucky find. Or was it?
A spine tingling story of luck and obsession. It could happen to anyone. Even you... Perfect for fans of horror suspense from John Connolly, Stephen King, Dean Koonz, Peter James, C J Tudor and James D Mortain.

When Audrey purchases a mysterious yet beautiful brass flamingo at a knock down price, she can't believe her luck. When she wins on a scratch card and then the lottery, she is the envy of her friends and neighbours in the retirement development where she lives, in a quiet part of the South Downs. But luck can change overnight and before she knows it, Audrey is in the grip of something that is nothing to do with good fortune.
Can Audrey's friend Kath rescue her?
Or was Audrey doomed from her first glimpse of the flamingo?


A new voice in the horror genre, Wendy Cartmell is better known for her chilling crime thrillers and best selling Sgt Major Crane mysteries. But several of them had a ghostly or physic element and wanting to develop these themes further, she decided it was time she wrote a horror story. She is also writing a new psychic detective series, the first of which, Touching the Dead, will be published in December 2019.
