From best-selling author Jackie French comes a story of mystery and mutiny on the high seas - and a love so strong it can overcome two different cultures. When Mair McCrae follows her Island tradition and hunts for a husband cast up on the beach, she has no notion that the naked, half-drowned man she rescues is not just heir to a major shipping firm, but that Captain Michael Dawson is obsessed by a 'ghost ship' carrying a golden cargo. On Big Henry Island women make the decisions, and knit the patterns that mark a man as their own. But Big Henry is also a volcano, and threatening to erupt. Yet when Mair breaks with Island tradition and leaves, she finds that the Australian comfort her husband Michael promised has threats as dangerous as any volcano: a social system that tries to keep women confined to small roles at the edge of men's lives. And as Michael hunts for the 'Ghost' in his revolutionary new steam ship, it is up to Mair to find and thwart the killer attacking the Dawson family. A murderer that only she believes in.
