Her sister has gone missing and no one can tell her why. The only option is to go where Roma was last seen, an estate with a deadly history. The Stacy family has lived off the Dover coast for generations, carefully navigating the treacherous quicksands nearby. But the sands aren't Caroline's biggest threat. Everyone here has a secret, especially the enigmatic young heir Napier Stacy. No matter where Caroline turns, the ground she walks is dangerous. And the closer Caroline comes to unraveling the truth, the closer she comes to sharing her sister's fate. Eleanor Hibbert (1906-1993), prolific historical novelist, wrote under various pen names. Her best known pseudonyms were Jean Plaidy, Victoria Holt, and Philippa Carr. By the time of her death, she had sold more than 100 million books. Quite a scarce book. Seller Inventory # 009029
