SynopsisWhen Lucy comes to Corfu to visit her sister, she is elated to discover that the castello above their villa is being rented to Sir Julian Gale, one of the brightest lights in England's theatrical world. As a minor player in the London theatre herself, Lucy naturally wishes to meet him--that is, until her sister indicates, with uncharacteristic vagueness, that all is not well with Sir Julian and that his composer son discourages visitors, particularly strangers. Yet Lucy has already encountered Sir Julian's son on the morning of her arrival, in a tempestuous run-in that involved the attempted shooting of a friendly dolphin. First published in 1964, this spirited novel will hold Mary Stewart fans breathless as it uncovers a series of mystifying and frightening events, tinging the otherwise sparkling setting of Corfu with dark hues of violence.

Mary Stewart books are superb!
I read Mary Stewart back in the 1970s. With the re-issues, I decided to re-read them. Superb! Her books are in exotic places, & it’s wonderful to compare her descriptions back then to my travels today of those places!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
