1926. On the towering cliffs of Yorkshire, men are lowered on ropes to steal the eggs of the sea birds who nest there. The most beautiful are sold for large sums. But when small and hungry Celie Sheppard finds an ‘impossible’ red egg, it will forever alter the course of her life – and the lives of others. One hundred years later in a remote cottage in Wales, Patrick Fort discovers his friend, Nick, and his mother tied up and robbed. The only thing missing: a carved case containing an incredible scarlet egg. Doggedly attempting to retrieve it, Patrick and Nick discover the cruel world of egg trafficking, and soon find themselves on the trail of a priceless collection of eggs lost to history. Until now.

It all begins with an egg. With a hungry child who risks her life for an omelette for tea – and finds a miracle. With thieves committing crimes against nature on the wild cliffs of Yorkshire. With a marvel that becomes a mystery – and then a myth. And 100 years later it begins again. With a strange robbery at a remote Welsh cottage. With two friends thrust from their gaming chairs into a real-life quest. And with dangerous men who will stop at nothing to get what they want. It all begins with an egg. But where will it end?

But as the killer becomes increasingly obsessed with her, Eve realises there’s a thin line between inside information and becoming an accomplice to murder – possibly her own.
