When the violent Cape wind blows from the south-east, they say the voices of the unquiet dead can be heard whispering through the deserted valley. Suzanne Joubert, a Huguenot refugee from war-torn France, arrives in search of her cousin - the notorious she-captain and pirate commander Louise Reydon-Joubert - who landed at the Cape of Good Hope more than sixty years before, then disappeared without a trace . . .
