About this title

From the Back Cover:

From shipwreck on a desert island, to the cloistered and exotic intrigues of the harem of a Turkish pasha, and a stately and secretive house in Cornwall, Rosetta finds her fate irrevocably linked with the lives of two men.

Lucas Lorimer is attractive, worldly and cynical. Simon Perrivale is a wanted man, a suspect in a much publicised murder case. By chance, they are country neighbours and, while visiting the crippled Lucas, Rosetta has the opportunity to prove Simon's innocence.

Her self-imposed mission is as dangerous as any bizarre adventure they have shared so far...

About the Author:

Born Eleanor Alice Burford, Victoria Holt was one of Britain's most prolific writers of historical romance. Always determined to keep her birth date and private life a closely guarded secret Holt wrote under many pseudonyms - Jean Plaidy was one of her most popular, and was created when she lived near Plaidy Beach in Cornwall. Having written over ninety historical romances, she then began a new series of Gothic romances, the first of which, Mistress of Mellyn, appeared in 1961.
