Mark of Tregarron
Toni  Ashley  was  having  a  thoroughly  enjoyable  summer,  studying art in Cornwall, under the tuition of Jake Tregarron. She found her fellow  students  easy  to  get  on  with -especially  Gavin  Brent,  and Jake's cousin Peter, but Jake himself was something of an enigma.
A  wonderful  teacher,  he  was  nevertheless  a  fascinating  but disturbing  man.  He  bore  the  characteristic  birthmark  of  his disreputable  ancestor  Tobyn  Tregarron -but  did  that  necessarily mean that he was a disreputable character himself? And in any case, with  the  glamorous  Mrs.  Fran  Casey  firmly  in  possession,  why should Toni concern herself with him at all?
