The Long Masquerade
Madeleine Brent
It is 1897, and a ship sails the Caribbean trading between the islands. This is the only home of a man and a girl who are runaways bearing false names, living constantly in fear of arrest for murder.
It was in a very different life that the girl, Casey, formerly known as Emma Delaney, married Oliver Foy and so became mistress of Diabolo Hall, one of the great houses of Jamaica. Her beloved servant, Daniel Choong, put an end to that sinister marriage on the night of a great storm, and throughout the long wanderings that followed, Casey has learnt the skills on which survival depends.
When love comes to Casey, it brings new danger and agonising decisions.
