"In our opinion the best thing that Rufus King has ever written." -- The New York Times Miriam Lake found herself in an alarming situation the night she came aboard the luxury yacht Donna Louise for an interview with a "Mrs. Murchison" who was seeking a governess for a backwards child. First, Mrs. Murchison turned out to be a man -- Donald Murchison. Then, Miriam learned that everyone on board believed her to be Murchison's long-lost niece and a victim of schizophrenia, causing her to adopt a strange new personality. By the time Miriam realized it was no honest mistake in identity, and that murder was part of the evil design, the yacht was heading out to sea! A tense novel in which Rufus King is at his scintilating best!
