The 'white slavers in Crail' have become a running joke with my St As friends, as something to beware of...!
One "best-selling" author even changed the setting of her story at some point from 1800s to 1760s, but didn't change the costumes... so characters were wearing dampened muslins at the height of the Rococo!
What's alarming is that some of these books are regarded as "genre classics"!
