In late 1923, the newly married Daisy Dalrymple and
Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard
take an ocean voyage to America for their
honeymoon.Accompanied by Daisy's childhood friend Phillip
Petrie, his wife Gloria, and Gloria's father - American
millionaire industrialist Caleb P. Arbuckle, Daisy and
Alec are looking forward to a pleasant, uneventful
trip.But at the last minute they are joined by Arbuckle's
new friend - Yorkshire millionaire Jethro Gotobed and his
new wife Wanda, a showgirl whom all but Gotobed are
convinced is a golddigger of the worst sort. Then, having
barely lifted anchor, the ocean liner is beset by a series
of suspicious accidents and deaths.With harsh weather and
rough seas putting many - including Alec - out of
commission due to seasickness, it soon falls to Daisy to
figure out what connection there might be between the
seemingly unrelated incidents.Convinced that there's a
murderer aboard ship, Daisy must unmask the culprit or
culprits before anyone else - especially herself - falls
victim. AUTHORBIO: Carola Dunn is the author of nine books
featuring Daisy Dalrymple, most recently Rattle His Bones
as well as numerous historical novels.Born and raised in
England, she lives in Eugene, Oregon.
