The Lost Manila Folder

How far would you go to keep a secret?


Ava Brown is struggling with her unfulfilling life in London before one summer evening she is swept off her feet by Diego. But the very next day the world she has known ceases to exist and all of a sudden she finds herself alone.


When she escapes to her childhood home, a photo from the past transports her to the Spanish civil war. Who are the people in the photo and why does she feel a connection to them? As she delves further into her mother's belongings, devastating family secrets come to light.


Desperate to uncover the truth about her mother's past, Diego's offer to help is too tempting to refuse. But is it a coincidence that he always turns up when something goes wrong? And should she listen to an old lady's warning telling her not to trust those closest to her?
