Synopsis

Hilda Hastings gives birth in shame, but when John Rust proposes marriage, it seems her son can only benefit. But even as a child, Alfred is discontented. In his quest to become prosperous and with an obsessive desire to own Ridley Hall and its estate, he cheats his wife, takes a mistress and schemes his way to amassing great wealth. Vain, extravagant and with a penchant for the seedy, he is not only wicked, but crafty as well. Yet, as he acquires money so he loses it and when his debts threaten to overwhelm him, he concocts one last plan. But will the woman he trusts provide him with an alibi?

About the Author

Margaret Callow came to writing novels late. Discovering her interest in the social history of England, she researched the ordinary people of the day who fought to improve the conditions for the working man which we enjoy today and her novels are a result of this fascination for the past. Margaret is also an extensively published poet. She is currently working on a trilogy of novels dealing with English rebellions from the 14th to the 17th century.
