The Girl in the Lifeboat: A novel of the Titanic (Novels of the Titanic)

They have survived the sinking of the Titanic; will they survive the White Star Line's attempts to silence them? April 1912: Runaway aristocrats Poppy and Daisy Melville sign on as stewardesses for the Titanic's maiden voyage. After their harrowing rescue by the Carpathia, they are forbidden to disembark in New York and are sent back to England with the other survivors of the Titanic's crew. Soon they learn that the White Star Line will stop at nothing, including murder, to prevent the truth of the disaster's cause from emerging. Daisy, a beautiful young woman used to getting her own way, harbors a secret that raises the stakes even higher. Where was she while the ship was sinking and why is she stalked from New York back to England? Poppy must protect her sister from a vengeful murderer by uncovering the real cause of the sinking. "The story of the aftermath and coverups by the White Star Line and the British government are equally stunning and disturbing. It is a compelling backdrop to an engrossing tale that is at heart a traditional drama about life and love. An engaging and unsettling addition to the Titanic-themed fiction category." - Kirkus Reviews
