Orphan Ellinor Arden is called from her secluded Paris home to London for the hearing of a will. To her surprise she is named as the inheritor of her estranged uncle's fortune, on condition that she marry his adopted son. Encouraged by her lawyer and guardian, the dashing Horace Margrave, Ellinor enters into wedded life with this perfect stranger, but it soon becomes clear that her trust in a dead man's wishes has been misplaced. Suspense-ridden sensational Victorian literature presented with the counterpart piece 'The Mystery at Fernwood'. The author Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1837-1915) counted W. M. Thackeray and Henry James among her admirers and wrote more than 70 books. 118pp, paperback.
