The inn is derelict, and no decent folks will come to it, speaking of it in fearful whispers. When Mary Yellan joins her aunt, married to the owner, she soon finds she has but two friends on the wild moors--the mysterious parson and an insolent, likeable horsethief.

Work Description

This is a gothic style period thriller about a young woman who is forced to join her aunt and her bullying husband at a remote inn in Cornwall when her mother dies. Mystified by the movements of her uncle and unable to explain why the inn is never open to customers, she eventually learns that she is in the midst of a gang of wreckers, people who lure passing ships onto the rocks and murder their crews in order to loot their cargoes.
