About this product

Product Information

Mary Stewart, author of many bestselling novels, has been often compared with the Bront sisters. Her 1960 classic My Brother Michael, with its superb mingling of romance and suspense, its vivid descriptions and overtone of impending disaster, is further evidence that the comparison is richly deserved. Perhaps Camilla Haven unintentionally invoked the gods that afternoon in the crowded Athens caf when she wrote to a friend, "Nothing ever happens to me." But a few hours later, an extraordinary train of events had dispatched Camilla to Delphi, to be in the company of a charming but quietly determined Englishman named Simon Lester. Simon told Camilla he had come to the ancient Greek ruins to "appease the shade" of his brother Michael, killed some fourteen years earlier on Parnassus. From a curious letter Michael had written, Simon believed his brother had stumbled upon something of great importance hidden in the craggy reaches of the mountainside. And then Simon and Camilla learned that they were not alone in their search . . .

Reviews
"A fast-moving suspense novel set against the background of Delphi, which affords the reader even more hair-raising nightmarish adventures than in earlier novels." --Kirkus Reviews, "Mary Stewart's best novel to date . . . The villains are wonderfully ruthless, the people-major and minor-are alive and picturesque, and the treasure-hunt theme has perhaps never had such an awesome and uplifting object." -San Francisco Chronicle, "A fast-moving suspense novel set against the background of Delphi, which affords the reader even more hair-raising nightmarish adventures than in earlier novels." -Kirkus Reviews, "Mary Stewart's best novel to date . . . The villains are wonderfully ruthless, the people--major and minor--are alive and picturesque, and the treasure-hunt theme has perhaps never had such an awesome and uplifting object." --San Francisco Chronicle, "This detective adventure . . . is seen through the eyes of a characteristic Stewart heroiâ‰ and surely there are few more attractive young women in today's popular fiction."

Mary Stewart is one of the greates writers 1 book & your hooked!
Mary Stewart is one of several favorite writers. I read all the time, never go anywhere w/o a book. "My Brother Michael" I had but didn't get to read it yet & somehow several of her books have been lost. So, knowing how good she writes I am trying to replace the ones lost little by little. I put Mary Stewart up w/Victoria Holt, Marylin Harris, Dorothy Eden & Susan Howatch & Phyllis Whitney. These were the writers of days gone by & I know any book by them is a page turner. Jeanette
