Description

Lady Grace Perivale is ruined by rumour when a lookalike and Colonel Rannock's disappearance draw detective John Faunce into scandal, fear, and a hunt for the truth. Braddon's sensation tale of identity, gossip, and a love judged unforgivable. Truth fights the face that wears another woman's name.
