The World's Own Secret

Bag om The World's Own Secret

'The epic tale of a woman's search for love and the meaning of life, as she battles to survive in a Victorian timeline more deadly than our own. Lucy Forrest has mystical experiences of the self but these are only brought to fulfilment when she has felt tragedy and love in their very depths, and has learned the secrets of the Colt-Paterson revolver. She first comes upon these in the Falkland Isles but her situation is made all the more explosive on moving to England, when she is involved in a passionate affair that awakens her full sexual potency, and is implicated in a far-reaching political conspiracy with the most deadly of outcomes. After much struggle Lucy achieves self-understanding, only for her new found freedom to be challenged again and again in a blood curdling climax, full of ironic twists and a desperate hunt to the death where the prey at last becomes the predator.'
