description: Based on true events, the background of this striking story - one of the most popular of S Baring-Gould's many West-Country novels - is the wild and sinister Cornish Coast of two centuries ago, when its wreckers and smugglers and preventive men were constantly in conflict. Its main incidents are centred around the fearsome and lawless Captain 'Cruel' Coppinger whose life of crime and violence and whose passion for the gentle golden-haired Judith makes a truly absorbing and exciting tale with a tremendous climax.
