Opis

Legend has it that the large house, known as Carne's Hold, is cursed. A mysterious death, generations ago, has led to the general belief that madness permeates the Carne family. When Miss Margaret Carne is ghastly murdered, the townspeople are convinced that this curse still exists. Though the evidence is not conclusive, Miss Carne's cousin, Ronald Mervyn, finds himself the prime suspect for her murder. A former military officer, Ronald rejoins the army in an attempt to begin a new life. His acts of bravery during the Xhosa Wars in South Africa, bring him renown and precipitate the necessity to confront his past and clear his honor. Will Ronald Mervyn clear his name? Who really murdered Miss Carne? Can the curse of Carne's Hold be broken? These and other questions will be answered in G. A. Henty's The Curse of Carne's Hold.
