JAMAICA INN PB

In the bitter November wind, Mary Yellan crosses Bodmin Moor to Jamaica Inn. Her mother s dying wish was that she take refuge there, with her Aunt Patience. But when Mary arrives, the warning of the coachman echoes in her mind: Jamaica Inn has a desolate power, and behind it s crumbling walls Patience is a changed woman, cowering before her brooding, violent husband. When Mary discovers the inn s dark secrets, the truth is more terrifying than anything she could possibly imagine, and she is forced to collude in her uncle s murderous schemes. Against her will, she finds herself powerfully attracted to her uncle s brother, a man she dares not trust.
