Description
When Lucy Waring's sister Phyllida suggests that she join her for a quiet holiday on the island of Corfu, young English Lucy is overjoyed. Her work as an actress has temporarily come to a halt. She believes there is no finer place to be 'at liberty' than the sun-drenched isle of Corfu, the alleged locale for Shakespeare's The Tempest. Even the suspicious actions of the handsome, arrogant son of a famous actor cannot dampen her enthusiasm for this wonderland in the Ionian Sea.
But the peaceful idyll does not last long. A series of incidents, seemingly unconnected — but all surrounded in mystery — throws Lucy's life into a dangerous spin, as fear, danger and death — as well as romance — supplant the former tranquility. Then a human corpse is carried ashore on the incoming tide... Without warning, she finds she has stumbled into a nightmare of strange violence, stalked by shadows of terror and sudden death.
