On holiday at her friend Margot's chateau, Jan's thoughts are only of food, wine and Margot's intriguing brother Alain. Yet when Margot's antiques dealer father disappears, with a dark and violent man on his tail, Jan becomes entangled in a present-day mystery with tragic historical roots.
On the hunt for the Salamander jewels, the last traces of a 16th century love affair between King Francis the First and his mistress, the Madame de Chateaubriant, Jan and Alain are in a race against time... Trapped in a deserted house on Brittany's wild coast, can they escape with their lives - and with the treasure?
A suspenseful thriller by the queen of historical fiction, Eleanor Fairburn, first published under the pen name Catherine Carfax. Perfect for readers of Daphne DuMaurier and Susan Hill.Also from
