'Her influence on fiction is incalculable, her imagination unsurpassable' ANDREW MICHAEL HURLEY

She was a woman, and for no reason in heaven or earth she loved him. He had kissed her, and she was bound to him for ever.

On a bitter November evening, Mary Yellan crosses the windswept Cornish moors to seek revenge with her Aunt Patience at Jamaica Inn. But the crumbling inn is no safe haven, and Patience is a changed woman, cowering before her domineering husband Joss. In fear of her life, and disturbed by her powerful attraction to Joss's younger brother, Mary is soon plunged into a brutal world of smuggling and murder in which she can trust no one - not even herself.

'The author's stunning evocation of her beloved Cornwall is the real star of this book' RUTH WARE
