Synopsis

After torrential summer rains uncover a bizarrely tattooed body on a Lake District hillside, long-disregarded old wives' tales take on a chilling new plausibility. For centuries, Lakelanders have whispered that Fletcher Christian staged the massacre on Pitcairn so that he could return home. And once there, what if he could tell his story to an old friend and schoolmate, William Wordsworth. The writer who turned it into a long narrative poem - a poem that reamained hidden lest it expose Wordsworth to the gallows for harboring a fugitive. Wordsworth specialist Jane Gresham, herself a native of the Lake District, feels compelled to discover once and for all whether the manuscript ever existed - and whether it still exists today. But as she purues each new lead, death follows hard on her heels. Suddenly Jane is at the heart of a 200-year-old mystery that still has the power to put lives on the line.

A drama of life and death plays out against the dramatic backdrop of England's Lake District where the ultimate prize is a bounty worth millions.
