Book description
It is 1856. When three men are murdered in Cornwall, Amos Hawke, a
Cornish detective working from London's Scotland Yard, is sent to
investigate. He finds lodgings with one of the murdered men's wives -
and her daughter, Talwyn. But while Amos's relationship with Talwyn
gets off to a bad start, she is to prove crucial in helping him bring
her father's killers to justice.
A wonderful tale from a master storyteller, Though the Heavens May
Fall has its heart and soul in the lore and landscape of Cornwall.
