The characters immortalised in 'Silent Torment' and 'Elusive Shadows'
re-emerge in a confusion of loyalty, disloyalty, intrigue, deceit and
passion, in mid-nineteenth century industrial revolution Britain.
Significantly, Rosie, Jimmy, Marcus, Kate, Robert, Jack and Daniel
figure prominently in a tangled web of seemingly impossible situations.
All are destined to reach climatic conclusions, thus ending the trilogy
of exciting sub-stories and plots, sometimes calamitous, sometimes
disastrous.
Will the actions of the principal characters determine their future or
will fate dictate their destinies?
Oh what a 'tangled web' we weave, when first we practise to deceive!"
Sir Walter Scott--Marmion--A Tale of Flodden Field.
