Beschreibung

Queen Isabella, 1295-1358, wife of King Edward 11, as seen through her own eyes. A strong, intelligent, and beautiful woman, she suffers many humiliations because of her husband’s homosexuality. For many years she bravely tolerates this as best she can until her position becomes utterly intolerable. At that point, having returned to France, the land of her birth, she begins an affair with the exiled knight, Sir Roger Mortimer. Together, they take a huge gamble by invading England, intent on overthrowing Edward’s malign favourite, Hugh Despenser.

    Port Hope, the sleepy town that rests along the coast of Lake Huron, is the last place one would expect to find a dead body – much less a body that so closely resembles the one Jerry and Gunter uncovered in Tennessee. 
    Is the redhead spirit that visits Max in her dreams simply a wayward ghost that haunts Pointe Aux Barques Lighthouse? Or, will Jerry, Max and Gunter, discover a truth too frightening to be labeled a mere coincidence?
