Preview The Shivering Sands
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.
