The Gabriel Hounds by MARY STEWART dramatised for radio by BARRY CAMPBELL
Somewhere near Beirut, overlooking a wild mountainous valley, stands a mysterious crumbling palace. Its owner is an ancient recluse who has become a legend very much in the mould of that notorious 19th-century eccentric. Lady Hester Stanhope. But when her great-niece pays her a surprise visit, the untroubled life at the palace suddenly erupts into a series of exciting events culminating in a highly dramatic climax.
