About this listen
In the Cornish town of St. Ewalds, the fête given by the proud but penniless baronet Sir Hannibal Trevick promises nothing more sinister than tea, music and a little harmless fortune-telling. But when a blunt, wealthy South African, a man who believes in nothing and gives nothing for nothing, pays his guinea to have his palm read by the family’s meek governess, he leaves the tent pale and shaken, with a sealed prediction in his pocket. Before the day is out, it has come terrifyingly true.
Who wanted John Bowring dead? What did the grim crowned skull mean to a man who feared it, and why did it vanish without a trace? As the police flounder and the whole town whispers, old secrets from the African veldt begin to surface, and everyone close to the dead man starts to look like a suspect. At the heart of the storm stands Dericka Trevick, the baronet’s quick-witted, fearless daughter, who will not be bullied or bought by anyone, and who has the devoted young barrister Oswald Forde at her side.
Written by Fergus Hume, the author of the bestselling The Mystery of a Hansom Cab, The Crowned Skull blends murder, superstition, buried secrets and a touch of the uncanny into a fast-moving puzzle set among the windswept moors and cliffs of Edwardian Cornwall.
