Stephanie

From the acclaimed author of *Marnie* and the Poldark series comes *Stephanie*, a novel laced with suspense and surprises. She was the beautiful young daughter of a prominent gentleman, so the coroner was naturally reluctant to bring a verdict of suicide. But what he didn't know was that it was actually murder. Set in Goa, India, Oxford, and London, this story introduces an absorbing cast of characters. Stephanie, a happy young woman with a brilliant future, Errol Colton, her worldly lover, James, her father, a man of courage and determination who will fight for justice even if it costs him his life, and Nari, a young Indian blackmailed into degradation. When Stephanie discovers that Errol is not at all what she believed him to be, she must make a choice about what to do with the damning knowledge. If someone finds out that she knows, her life, as well as her lover's, will be at risk. The fate of these people is revealed by one of the finest practitioners of literate suspense writing in the English language. *Stephanie* is a novel that ranks with Winston Graham's best.
