BONAVENTURE by Charlotte Hastings

The breaking of the Great Dyke has flooded roads in the Fen country. At the convent of Our Lady of Rheims, homeless villagers are being house. The flood has also trapped two prison officials and their prisoner SARAT CARN - convicted of her brother's murder and on her way to the gallows. In spite of the damning circumstantial evidence, SISTER MAY BONAVENTURE is certain of SARAT'S innocence. Against the Reverend Mother's wishes SISTER MARY perseveres in trying to help SARAT. She uncovers a hitherto unknown connection between the doctor who had stood as SARAT'S friend and a woman for whose death SARAT'S brother had been responsible. Just before the police arrive, a confession is forced from the real murderer.
