Great Explorers of the World Here are the stories of nine great adventures and the men who took part in them. They pushed back the frontiers of man's knowledge of the world by their vision, courage and sheer doggedness. Their journeys are placed within their historical context, but also contain the words of the men themselves.
In the year 1780, Harriet Westerman, the willful mistress of a country manor in Sussex, finds a dead man on her grounds with a ring bearing the crest of Thornleigh Hall in his pocket. Not one to be bound by convention or to shy away from adventure, she recruits a reclusive local anatomist named Gabriel Crowther to help her find the murderer, and historical suspense's newest investigative duo is born.
