Eveline Mandeville’s father insists she accept Willard Duffel, the best offer in the county, but she simply does not like him. Her instinct proves sound: eavesdroppers, an invalid’s secrets, a hidden cave and a clan of conspirators lie behind Duffel’s respectable face, and Eveline must keep her courage through plots, captivity and rescue.
