Summary

Brenda Arkwright has been the managing director of Murgatroyd Pens for much of her working life. She is popular, personable, and competent. But Brenda has secrets.

When Jean Murgatroyd passes away in a nursing home in the northern industrial town of her birth, old wounds are reopened. Events from Brenda’s past, inextricably intertwined with the Murgatroyd family, are coming back to haunt her.

Simultaneously, Jean’s difficult, estranged son James seeks to regain control of the family business. Jean leaves a beautiful monogrammed pen to Brenda’s daughter - one of only two that were ever made.

The person in possession of the other was a mystery to everybody but Brenda and Jean, but that person may now hold the future of Murgatroyds in their hands....
