About This Book

The narrative opens with an infant abandoned at a private school and follows her later involvement in a tangled criminal conspiracy over secret documents and a large inheritance. The plot weaves reporters, detectives, and a shadowy organization into schemes of impersonation, abduction, and betrayal that play out on country roads, ships, and in hidden caverns. Episodes of theft, coded messages, narrow escapes, and violent confrontations incrementally expose loyalties and duplicity, driving toward the unmasking of the plotters and the recovery of the contested papers.
