A Border-Line Case

Daphne du Maurier

First published 1971
Type Short Fiction

Shelagh, a young English actress, journeys to a remote island in Ireland, following her father's death, to seek out a man her father once served with. She assumes a false identity in order to seem less English. The mysteriously attractive Nick, an amateur archaeologist and IRA terrorist, turns out to be more enmeshed in her life than she thought.

Borderline speculative: A gothic story which, as some reviews indicate, contains hints of the supernatural mixed with mundane life, but is not supernatural in its main plot.
