Book 1 in the Winterbine trilogy.
GERDA VROUWENDIJK, under the name of Edith Bicknell, arrives in the north-western Victorian town of Binawarra to take up a teaching position in the local high school. The sinister Boris, lurking in the background, seems never far away. Ms Vrouwendijk is confident that she can keep her disguise and purpose hidden. But she has not reckoned on Florence Barker. Miss Barker, severe spinster, feared and avoided by the townspeople, is not what she seems. Nor has the memory of a brief meeting fifteen years earlier in Middelburg, Holland, with the crippled local priest, Fr van Engelen, come back to Ms Vrouwendijk. These slips in her otherwise meticulous planning will prove critical.
Miss Barker and Fr van Engelen set about trying to discover what Edith Bicknell is doing in their obscure little country town and why she has an interest in the beautiful Estella Winterbine. A tense game of cat and mouse follows as Ms Vrouwendijk's manipulation of people and events becomes ever more complex. When a senior teacher is found dead at the bottom of a peak (called Death Rock by the local youth) and the local newspaper begins attacking the Principal of Binawarra High School, Ms Vrouwendijk's plans seem to have an unstoppable momentum. Then Estella goes missing. Former SAS captain and Vietnam veteran, Geoffrey Shawcross, whom Estella has fallen in love with, sets off in pursuit.
This is the revised 2008 edition
