Foul Play
'Foul Play' Summary
Robert Penfold is a young man who is wrongly convicted of a crime and sentenced to five years of penal servitude. After a year, he is transported on the hulk Vengeance destined for Australia. Once again, karma is against him, and he is shipwrecked on an uncharted island in the South Pacific. Helen Rolleston (the woman he loves and who does not even recognize him) happens to also be on board and shares his fate. After several months of hardships, they are rescued thanks to Robert's ingenuity, and she returns to Britain alone in order to vindicate him. As with all good Victorian Sensation novels you can expect a complex plot and a superb cast of characters.Book Details
