T.J. Carter - Victoria Holt - Shivering Sands

This is an image of the cover of "The Shivering Sands," a romantic suspense novel by Victoria Holt, first published in 1969. The depiction's solitary, vulnerable female figure seems reminiscent of Collins' Rosanna Spearman.

Holt is known to have been influenced by Victorian writers, particularly Dickens and the Brontes (Dalby - see second hyperlink).
