In 1860, the formidable Countess Narona marries a rich young aristocrat in London. But shortly after travelling to Venice her husband dies, apparently of natural causes. This leaves the Countess a rich woman. Years later, guests in a Venetian hotel encounter the terrifying apparition of a murder victim seeking revenge. Wilkie Collins' gothic horror tale is a powerful combination of ghost story and detective mystery. Starring Adjoa Andoh. Dramatised by Rod Beacham. Countess Narona ......
