Book description
The Catherine-Wheel had once been a home for pirates and smugglers, but
now is looked like it was harbouring a murderer. There was a certain
heavy air of intrigue and mystery emanating from the old inn high on the
cliff top. The Catherine-Wheel had once been a home for pirates and
smugglers, but now is looked like it was harbouring a murderer. It had
begun with an advertisement in the paper requesting descendants of the
late innkeeper, Jeremiah Taverner, to stay for a weekend at the inn.
They had arrived, a mixed assortment, to the family reunion eager to
discover the secrets of their ancestry. But one of them had been
hideously murdered, bringing the inn's stormy past into frightening
focus. Scotland Yard, already suspicious of dope smuggling in the area,
sends Maud Silver to investigate before the fireworks start to fly.
