Jacket design & illustration by Wendell Minor. keywords: Literature South Africa . FROM THE PUBLISHER - Passions as dangerous as the reef-torn waters of its bay lay hidden beneath the somnolent surface of the decaying South African town of Helmsdale. Then a woman's body was washed in by the tide that should have buried it safely at sea, and no one's secrets were safe. This gripping novel presents the unfamiliar, half-mad world that young Kate Buchanan finds when she arrives from Edinburgh to work for Augusta Preller, the Vienna-born dowager who presides over the estate of 'Saxenburg,' where a fortune had once been made supplying ostrich feathers to Europe's world of high fashion. Now, in the face of mounting suspicion and fear aroused by the murder, come the explosive revelations that bring the concealed pasts of many in this small community out into the open. Above the limits of genre, THE SEA CAVE combines romance and danger with probing psychological examination, in a story that goes far beyond the hunt for a killer into the drama of one family's battle to survive in an exotic but unforgiving world. Alan Scholefield holds the reader from the hair-raising opening passages, through numerous dramatic twists, to the trial and the unexpected conclusion of this tantalizing multi-layered mystery. ALAN SCHOLEFIELD writes: 'Some years ago my mother, now in her eighties, was going blind, and I asked her to write all her reminiscences of being an emigrant from Edinburgh to South Africa in the 1920s. I used this as a background for THE SEA CAVE. I had always been fascinated by the great ostrich feather boom-and-bust era. I had once covered a murder as a journalist that was not too different from the one in the book. I was able therefore to combine the three elements. inventory #9854. Seller Inventory # z9854
