Hope Adams

Dangerous Women

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

From debut author Hope Adams comes a gripping novel based on the 1841 voyage of the convict ship Rajah about confinement, hope, and the terrible things we do to survive. Nearly two hundred condemned women board a transport ship bound for Australia. One of them is a murderer. London, 1841. One hundred eighty Englishwomen file aboard the Rajah, embarking on a three-month voyage to the other side of the world. They're daughters, sisters, mothers-and convicts. Transported for petty crimes. Except one of them has a deadly secret, and will do anything to flee justice. As the Rajah sails farther from land, the women forge a tenuous kinship. Until, in the middle of the cold and unforgiving sea, a young mother is mortally wounded, and the hunt is on for the assailant before they strike again. Each woman called for questioning has something to fear: Will she be attacked next? Will she be believed? Because far from land, there is nowhere to flee, and how can you prove innocence when you've already been found guilty? Story Locale: London & 1841 Van Dieman's Land
