'The best of Mary Stewart's books' Reader review ?????
'Utterly thrilling, utterly satisfying' Reader review ?????
'A compulsive read' Reader review ?????

Linda Martin understands what is to be lonely: her parents died when she was young, and she was raised in an orphanage. When she is hired as a governess to the orphaned young Philippe, Comte de Valmy, Linda finds a kindred spirit in the lonely little boy.

But Philippe is the heir to a vast estate in Savoy, and his dangerously handsome uncle may be willing to kill to ensure that Philippe never inherits it...
Don't miss this thrilling, twisty tale of a dangerous romance set in the heart of mid-century Savoy from Mary Stewart, the Queen of Suspense - perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Barbara Pym.
