1897, London
After the death of her father, 16-year-old Emma Semper decides to run away to London, leaving behind the sinister farmhouse that she can no longer call home. But a chance encounter with a man driving one of the new motor-carriages puts her on a completely different path.
Despite forging a new life for herself in London, discovering how much grit and determination lies in her soul, she is inevitably drawn back to her home and the family legend of hidden treasure that has haunted her ancestors for generations: the lost Semper Rubies... Emma must race against powerful forces that threaten her inheritance - and her life.
A suspenseful Victorian mystery by the queen of historical fiction, Eleanor Fairburn, first published under the pen name Catherine Carfax. Perfect for readers of Daphne DuMaurier and Susan Hill.
