The Pavilion on the Links
Robert Louis Stevenson · 1909 · Adventure, Crime & Thriller
Frank Cassilis returns to the lonely coast of Graden and finds a supposedly empty pavilion prepared for secret guests. A hunted banker, his courageous daughter, a dangerous rival and Italian pursuers turn the dunes, quicksand and storm-dark shore into a siege where love, loyalty and sacrifice are tested.
