The Lake of Wine

"The Lake of Wine" by Bernard Capes is a gripping tale that starts amidst the frantic energy of a London gambling club, where fortunes are lost and lives are irrevocably changed. In a whirlwind of misfortune, Sir Robert Linne faces the crushing blow of financial ruin, triggering a sequence of events marked by despair and a brush with self-destruction. Just as he is about to give up, a peculiar lawyer appears, presenting him with an unexpected inheritance: a dilapidated and ominous estate. This sets Sir Robert on a path to Delsrop House, where he hopes to find solace, but instead must confront eerie secrets, a troubled history, and the unsettling weight of his own past, as fate and personal will intertwine in a haunting dance.
