    About this ebook

    One of E. Phillips Oppenheim's earlier novels, 'A Monk of Cruta' follows the story of wealthy Englishman Paul de Vaux, witness to a murder on the Mediterranean island of Cruta. He finds himself caught up in a love triangle between his former ward, Adrea Kiros, daughter of the murdered man, and the sweet and simple Lady May. A gothic romance, this is a tale of love and tragedy, religion and revenge.-
