  A TRUE-CRIME-OBSESSED YOUNG ARTIST IS DRAWN INTO THE LIVES OF A DELIRIOUSLY WEALTHY FAMILY IN THIS FANTASTICALLY ENTERTAINING THRILLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF OTHER PEOPLE’S CLOTHES. 
   
  Recently dumped and stuck with the mortgage, artist Esther Ray wants to burn down the world, but instead, she reluctantly accepts a scrapbooking job from the deliriously wealthy Naomi Duncan. The scrapbooks, a secret birthday gift for Naomi’s husband, Bryce, trace the Duncans’ twenty-five-year marriage. The conditions: Esther must include every piece of paper she’s been sent, must sign an NDA, and must only contact Naomi using the burner phone provided. Otherwise, she’ll spoil the surprise. 
   
  As Esther binges true-crime podcasts and works through the nearly two hundred boxes of Duncan detritus, she finds herself infatuated with the gilded family—until, midproject, Naomi dies suspiciously. When Esther becomes convinced the husband killed her, she uses the scrapbooks’ trove of information to insert herself into the Duncans’ lives to prove it. But the more Esther investigates, the further she is dragged back to the scorched earth of her own past in the art world. 
   
  Laced with pitch-black humor and conspiratorial unease, Scrap is a razor-sharp examination of wealth and power, art and truth, of the line between justice and revenge—and who gets to cross it. 
   
  "[A] black comedy that revels in the fabulously entertaining dysfunction at the heart of the world's disgustingly wealthy … Henkel's lacerating eye for the morally ambiguous keeps you hooked."—Daily Mail

  Margaret Gabrielle Vere Campbell was born on the 1st November 1885 on Hayling Island in Hampshire.  
   
  Her childhood was fraught with problems, her alcoholic father left early in her life and was later found dead on a London Street.  Life thereafter was poverty with an uncaring mother. 
   
  However, her talents took her to the Slade School of Fine Art and later to study in Paris.  
   
  Her first fiction, written at a mere 16, was a violent medieval historical novel, ‘The Viper of Milan’.  Initially rejected by several publishers it went on to become a best-seller  
   
  After this her prolific writings were the main financial support for the family.  Her literary output numbered over 150 volumes, mainly under the pseudonym of Marjorie Bowen but she also used the names Joseph Shearing, George R Preedy, John Winch, Robert Paye and Margaret Campbell.  Within this output she assigned the pseudonyms to the various genres she worked across, from Historical fiction to supernatural short stories.  
   
  Perhaps her best known work is the 1909 book ‘Black Magic’, a Gothic horror novel about a medieval witch. 
   
  Several of her works were also adapted into films.   
   
  She was married twice.  The first to Zefferino Emilio Constanza (they had two children), who died of tuberculosis, and then to Arthur L Long (and another two children).
