On the wooded banks of the Wye, between Herefordshire and Monmouth, the spirited Gwen Wynn is courted by more than one admirer. A ferryman corrupted by money, a ducking on the river and a rivalry soured by jealousy set the scene for something darker: a young woman disappears without a trace, and the whole neighbourhood turns out to search for her.
One of Mayne Reid’s late novels, trading prairies and jungles for a lovingly described British river. Download the free EPUB.
