When Marcella is accosted by a daunting stranger, she discovers he too is entangled in the secrets of the past.

PRAISE:

'Fraser's excellent research makes the reader feel like they are actually back in 1898 with her richly detailed settings: bustling train stations and port docks, flies and dust...' - GLAM Adelaide
