Description

Anne Ross hears that vanished brother Norman may live, and that he may have killed Arthur Aytoun. Alice Aytoun, Mrs Catherine, Marjory Falconer, and a letter hinting innocence turn Scottish shame into work she must do. Self-sacrifice as investigation: kirk, estate, and a sister fighting to prove a name clean against scandal that already owns it.

Author

Margaret Oliphant (1828–1897) was a Scottish novelist who wrote as if the rent depended on it — because it often did. Widowed young, she supported a large household with novels, biographies, reviews, and stories of the seen and unseen, becoming one of the Victorian age's most tireless professionals. Domestic realism, historical fiction, and ghostly tales all came from the same steady pen.
