Publisher's Synopsis
Stark and forbidding, Jamaica Inn stands alone on bleak Bodmin Moor, its very walls tainted with corruption. Landlord Joss Merlyn plies a strange trade but soon his young neice Mary is fearfully wondering if he is not involved in even darker dealings. Only the oddly contrasting Vicar of Altarnun and her uncle's brother - said to be the worst Merlyn of all, offer a hand of friendship, but who exactly can she trust?
