See all formats and editions

Set in 1928 in Victoria, Australia. The Thornton family made its money in the goldfields during the 1850s and the antiques trade. Their principal home is Thornton Park, a lavish mansion close to Melbourne. They also own a home and a goldmine in Daylesford, where their close friends, the Bassetti family, are part of a thriving Swiss-Italian community.

Alexandra Thornton has married Benedict Archer. On their honeymoon in Daylesford, in the heart of Victoria, the first of a string of events occur that lead her and her family into danger.

At Daylesford, Alexandra’s pearls are stolen and within days two murders have occurred.

Back at Thornton Park, Alexandra discovers a secret compartment in a desk. Inside is a gold and diamond necklace and a letter written by her grandfather, James Thornton. It’s a love letter, Alexandra assumes written to his wife after her death. He claims the necklace is cursed.

After further investigation, Alexandra uncovers the deaths of two miners at Thornton Goldmine. Her father, Thomas Thornton, claims gold is the curse.

The family return to Daylesford where Thomas Thornton is accused of murder.

Alexandra is determined to work out how it all connects.

Why did Aunt Sophia give a stack of old letters to Alexandra and say that no one else must see them?

What is the link to the Inca Emperor Atahualpa?

Is gold the curse?
