But, still single at thirty-six, she fears ending up as a wizened crone in a dilapidated country cottage, a cat her only companion. Just as she is beginning to believe she will never marry, she meets George Maclean, home on leave from his position as the governor of Cape Coast Castle on the Gold Coast of West Africa. George and Letty marry quietly and set sail for Cape Coast. Eight weeks later she is dead - not from malaria or dysentery or any of the multitude of dangers in her new home, but by her own hand.

Letty speaks from beyond the grave to let the reader see the world through her eyes and explore the mystery of her death.
