Indeed, she discovered her sister’s worst fears were well founded as she, her father and Percy found themself embroiled in a long-standing conspiracy involving smuggling and murder.Only the arrival of the mysterious Jago Carlyon stood between them and the infamous leader of the Hope Cove smuggling ring.
