Beschreibung
Samuel Etherstone, a penniless young artist, is adrift in London. His disturbing art is shunned by critics, his friend Oscar Wilde is in prison, and a personal tragedy has taken its toll. So when he is contacted by a mysterious heiress and asked to design a mausoleum for the house she is building on the desolate Pirate Coast of North Yorkshire, he accepts the commission. From the prize-winning, critically acclaimed author of the 'City Blues Quartet' comes a Yorkshire-set gothic masterpiece.
