About This Book

Ce cinquième tome poursuit l'entrelacement de conspirations, chantages et actes de vengeance qui taraudent la ville et plusieurs familles. On voit des complices divisés par la peur et l'avarice, des révélations sur des dettes et des lettres compromettantes, des épisodes de dévouement et de sacrifice dans des hospices, et la détresse d'orphelines maltraitées transformée par rencontres providentielles. Des liaisons amoureuses se nouent et se rompent, des procès intérieurs et des visions pèsent sur les personnages, et des destins s'achèvent par mariages, aveux et redressements. L'ensemble conclut par une série de résolutions et confidences qui éclairent les mystères livrés au fil du roman.
