She has no memory of the past few weeks. The doctor, Maynard Straker, tells her that she admitted herself under the name Lucy Ashton, then suffered a seizure. When she insists he has mistaken her for someone else, Dr. Straker sends a telegram to her uncle, who replies that Georgina Ferrars is at home with him in London: Your patient must be an imposter. Suddenly her voluntary confinement becomes involuntary. Who is the woman in her uncle s house? Georgina s perilous quest to free herself takes us from a cliffside cottage on the Isle of Wight to the secret passages of Tregannon House and into a web of hidden family ties on which her survival depends. \u003cbr\u003e Redolent with a sense of foreboding . . .
