NARROW ESCAPE simmers with secrets and suspense

Matthew Poe is the only witness in a case of murder and corruption in the lead mining industry. After an attempt is made on his life, he seeks refuge at Shaleslip Manor.

Mr. Gregory Royse, bound by honour and duty to his King and country, agrees to take him in, though his presence puts everyone at Shaleslip in danger—including Gregory’s new bride, Marjorie.

In Narrow Escape, Emmaline Hoffmeister masterfully creates a world around Shaleslip Manor electrified with the excitement and intrigue of a riveting suspense story.
