On a June morning at the height of the London season, two gentlemen meet at the gate of Apsley House, and their talk sets in motion a story of money, family and deception. Gathering clouds, a lawyer’s visit and shifting scenes, from town to a quiet resort on the Dorset coast, follow a heroine whose fortunes depend on a will.
