The Hunter's Moon Josephine Gourlay

The Hunter's Moon is a tale of supernatural suspense, entwined with the tragic death of Rudolph Von Hapsburg, the archduke of Austria and Maria Vetsera, his seventeen-year-old mistress, as told through an old diary. It is also the modern day love affair between Baron Kyril Vetsera and Alexandria Vetsera Brown, the wife of a brutal jealous man. The Hunter's Moon begins at the conclusion of a royal hunt in Austria in 1887 and ranges forward one hundred years to twentieth century Niagara Falls, New York. Baron Vetsera comes to America to retrieve a diary that contains a horrific personal secret. The diary was stolen half a century earlier by his wife, who then fled to America. When he arrives, his wife has died and her belongings given to Alexandria. Thus the terror and love affair begins.
