SUMMARY of the novel:
For love of king and country. . .
American heiress Penny Nichols and her English hero Jeremy Laidley are returning to London from their honeymoon, only to be greeted by emissaries of Prince Charles, who has a special assignment for them. His Royal Highness wants the eccentric firm of Nichols & Laidley Ltd. to solve an historical mystery in Cornwall, England in the hopes of rescuing the charming village where Penny and Jeremy first met as kids. A property developer is bulldozing his way across the seacoast’s countryside—and it just so happens that Grandmother Beryl’s home is standing right in its path.
. . . to Grandmother's house we go
Penny and Jeremy have a personal stake in this assignment, because they can’t bear to see the family landmark destroyed, with its beautiful garden and secret cove. Now the only hope for rescuing their own personal Camelot is for our adventurous duo to solve an Elizabethan riddle, leading to a far greater quest than they bargained for.
Amid Celtic lore and tales of Shakespeare, smugglers and shipwrecks, Penny and Jeremy contend with an eccentric cast of locals: a posh restauranteur, a bird-watching earl, a vain actor, a New Age farmer, a rebel rock-and-roller, and a band of determined “eco-warriors”. Tracing the history of Grandma’s house, our intrepid pair follows the trail to the lush island of Madeira and the legends of Tintagel, in a race against time to find the astounding truth . . . before the wrecking ball strikes.
