Belfriere
Bristol, 1840... A Bustling City of Merchant Kings And Rogues

Here pretty Sarah Venables accepted a teaching position in the Lorimer household after the sudden and mysterious death of her father.

Tormented by unanswered questions, Sarah found herself drawn more and more deeply into a deadly maze. Whom did her father meet on that fateful night by the quay? What did the cryptic entries in her father's notebook mean? And what did they have to do with Belfiere, the magnificent family estate in the West Indies which Sarah was determined to regain at any cost? When a shadowy figure made an attempt on her own life, Sarah was forced to confront a terrible possibility  --  that her father's might be the man she loved.
