'Every day, haunted still by doubt, I ask myself a question which I cannot answer.
Was Rachel innocent or guilty?'

Philip Ashley has been raised by his cousin Ambrose as heir to his beautiful Cornish estate. But this close-knit world is shattered when Ambrose sets off on a trip to Florence, where he unexpectedly falls in love and marries - only to die of a strange illness.

Before long, his beautiful, mysterious widow arrives in England - and despite himself, Philip is caught in her spell. But is Rachel a victim, a saviour, or a murderess?
