'Jamaica Inn is a novel about nothing less than pure evil ... with an eerie
and shocking kind of power, in the novel's astonishing final act' JULIE
MYERSON, GUARDIAN

In the bitter November wind, Mary Yellan crosses Bodmin Moor to Jamaica Inn.
Her mother's dying wish was that she take refuge there with her Aunt Patience.
But when Mary arrives, the warning of the coachman echoes in her mind. Jamaica
Inn has a desolate power and behind its crumbling walls, Patience is a changed
woman, cowering before her brooding, violent husband.

When Mary discovers the inn's dark secrets, the truth is more terrifying than
anything she could possibly imagine and she is forced to collude in her
uncle's murderous schemes. Against her will, she finds herself powerfully
attracted to her uncle's brother, a man she dares not trust.

Jamaica Inn is a dark and gripping gothic tale that will remind readers of two
other great classics, Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. This was also made into
a film, also called Jamaica Inn, directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
