Silver Nutmeg is a big, booming novel of action and adventure in the Dutch East Indies of three centuries ago. Evert Haan, grown wealthy on black-market trading, sent to Holland for Annabet. When she arrived racked by rheumatic fever, he ordered her killed. But Annabet lived to recover her health and beauty and to find a dangerous love with an Englishman.
