In Robert Goddard's third novel, a bestseller in the United Kingdom
and now back in print, is a masterful exercise in suspense set in
Victorian-era England. On a mild autumn afternoon in 1882,
thirty-four-year-old husband and father William Trenchard sits
smoking his pipe in the garden of his comfortable family home. When
the creak of the garden gate announces the arrival of an unexpected
visitor, he is puzzled but not alarmed. He has no inkling of the
destruction this man will wreak on all he holds most dear. The
stranger offers his name as James Norton, but claims he is in
reality Sir James Davenall, the man to whom Trenchard's wife
Constance had once been engaged, and who had supposedly committed
suicide eleven years ago. Davenall's mother and younger brother,
who has since inherited the family's baronetcy, refuse to recognize
this stranger as one of their own, and they soon force
Trenchard--who fears the loss of his wife's affections and his own
sanity--into an uneasy alliance against him. But Trenchard must
plumb the depths of his own despair before the dark secrets of the
Davenall family can finally, shockingly, be revealed.
