Death in the West Wind

Devon, April 1759: Newlyweds John Rawlings and Emilia are spending their honeymoon touring the mysterious county of Devon. Arriving in Sidmouth, they watch a schooner being towed into harbor and immediately deduce that all is not well on board. The gruesome discovery of the body of a young girl, badly beaten and draped over the figurehead, draws the Apothecary into the investigation. He recognizes the dead girl as Juliana van Guylder, daughter of a Dutch merchant residing in the port of Topsham. When the girl's brother, Richard, goes missing at the same time, John realizes that he is deeply involved in something rather sinister. . .
