Mimi Mott, celebrated designer and famously private style icon, is auctioning off her legendary estate, intent on telling the true story of her life in objects.

In London, her new assistant, Jo O'Mara, is determined to win Mimi's trust. But Jo carries a secret of her own, and time is running out to unpick the past before the auctioneer's hammer falls.

Who is Mimi, really? A woman who rose from humble beginnings to build an interiors empire - but at what cost? What happened in that remote Wiltshire manor house where Mimi and her family worked during the summer of 1969? Who died the night of the glittering party that stole the headlines?

As the auction countdown begins, Jo is drawn into an intoxicating world of obsession, sisters and secrets - and must risk everything to unravel the truth, one thread at a time.
