When Caroline Verlaine’s sister, Roma, disappears, Caroline travels down to Lovat Stacy on a quest to uncover the truth. There, she finds herself caught up in the drama of that ancient house and the unusual members of the Stacy family.
When Caroline Verlaine's sister, the archaeologist Roma, disappears, Caroline is forced down to Lovat Stacy in an attempt to discover what has happened. She finds herself caught up in the drama of the ancient house and with the unusual members of the Stacy family. But it is Napier Stacy, recently returned from years of banishment for apparently killing his brother, who she is especially drawn to.
Napier is haunted by the tragedy, and Caroline becomes determined that he should put his past behind him and not allow, what she insists was an accident, to cloud his life for ever. At the same time, she becomes equally determined to solve the mystery of her own sister's disappearance.
Why has Roma vanished? Was it an accident or has she been murdered?
As the tension mounts Caroline soon realizes that this quest to uncover the truth is a dangerous one and is marking her out as the next victim.

Descrizione libro Condizione: Good. When Caroline Verlaine's sister, Roma, disappears, Caroline travels down to Lovat Stacy on a quest to uncover the truth. There, she finds herself caught up in the drama of that ancient house and the unusual members of the Stacy family. When the disappearance of her archaeologist sister Roma sent Caroline Verlaine down to Lovat Stacy in an attempt to discover what had happened, she found herself caught up in the drama of that ancient house and with the unusual members of the Stacy family. She was especially interested in Napier Stacy, recently returned from years of banishment, a penalty inflicted for having killed his brother. Napier was haunted by the death of his brother, and Caroline became determined that he should put his past behind him and not allow what she insisted was an accident to cloud his life for ever. At the same time, she was determined to solve the mystery of her sister's disappearance. Why had Roma disappeared? Was it an accident or had she been murdered? And if so, was the quest to discover the truth a dangerous one? If she had been murdered, was the murderer in Lovat Stacy? And was he - or she - aware of Caroline's intentions? And if so, was Caroline in danger? With mounting tension she realised that she was. There in that ancient house close to the sea with its windows overlooking the shivering sands, on which on clear days the masts of lost ships could be seen, Caroline became aware that because of her determination to uncover the truth, she was marked out to be the next victim. 400 pages.
