If you're thinking of reconnecting with old friends, this suspenseful tale may make you reconsider.Frank and Northmour haven't seen each other in years. Mainly due to Northmour being a bad-tempered recluse. So when Frank turns up unannounced at Northmour's house, he can't quite believe his eyes. His old college buddy is entertaining guests! And not only that, he's due to be married to one of them. But there are some ugly secrets lurking behind Northmour's transformation. And as Frank digs into the mystery, he's pulled into a thriller of Italian crime families, fraudulent bankers and forbidden love. Hailed by Arthur Conan Doyle as Stevenson's "high water-mark", "Pavilion on the Links" recalls the thrillers of Agatha Christie or Wilkie Collins. -
