Sinossi

The immortal classic novel of love, ambition, intrigue set amid the Tulip mania of the Dutch Golden Age. In seventeenth-century Holland, tulips are a highly valued commodity. When the Tulip Society of Haarlem announces a prize of one hundred thousand guilders for the discovery of a black tulip, it sets Cornelius van Baerle on an obsessive quest to cultivate the elusive specimen. But when his powerful godfather is assassinated, the unwitting Cornelius becomes caught up in a deadly political intrigue.  Falsely accused of high treason by a bitter rival, Cornelius is condemned to life in prison. His only comfort is Rosa, the jailer’s beautiful daughter, who helps him concoct a plan to grow the black tulip in secret.

    Elizabeth Ogilvie sailed on the maiden voyage of the S.S Viking with rather mixed feelings. It was not that her job, as assistant purser, was likely to set her any problems; nor was she worried at having to keep secret the fact that she was virtually related to the Chairman of the shipping line, who was also on board — travelling incognito, for reasons of his own. What had been so upsetting for Elizabeth was to discover, at the last moment, that the Captain of the ship was to be Hugh Anson, with whom she had once been in love. But although Elizabeth did not know it, there were others on board with even bigger reasons for treating the Captain with hostility. Altogether it looked like being anything but a peaceful voyage!
