A mysterious murder is committed aboard a luxury liner; suspicion of guilt spreads among the passengers; a gold watch is found ticking away inside the death-wound; the lives of those involved are changed by their closeness to a violent death, even after the apparent murderer has been discovered. 'The Glass Cottage' is an unusual mystery story that takes the reader into strange byways of emtion, and introduces them to many odd and memorable characters: the mad professor, the widow who talks with Goddess, the perverted ship's doctor, the poet interested in menstruation, the actor, the lover, the immensely freckled psychologist, the ship's spirit, the murdered girl and, not least, the great liner itself, the S.S. Messenger. The novel comes with a new introduction by co-author Penelope Shuttle.

Redgrove, Peter: - Peter Redgrove (1932-2003) lived in Cornwall from the mid-1960s. One of the most consistently remarkable English poets of the post-war period, he was the author of over thirty verse collections and ten works of fiction, as well as plays and works of non-fiction. His collections include Selected Poems (Cape, London, 1999), and From the Virgil Caverns (Cape, 2002). The posthumous collections Sheen (Stride) and The Harper (Cape), were further evidence that his craft had not diminished with age. A Collected Poems appeared from Cape in 2011.Shuttle, Penelope: - Penelope Shuttle has lived in Cornwall since 1970 and the widow of Peter Redgrove. Her Selected Poems appeared in 1998 and her collection A Leaf Out of His Book in 1999, both of which were Poetry Book Society Recommendations.
