A double barrelled detective story

About the Book

His first scene takes place in a village in Virginia; time, 1880. There was a wedding between a handsome young man with meager means and a rich young girl - a case of love at first sight and sudden marriage; the marriage was categorically opposed by the girl's widowed father. Fiancé Jacob Fuller, 26, is from an old but unreported family that was forced to emigrate from Sedgemoor for the profit of King James' bride, so everyone said - some maliciously, others simply because they believed it. The bride is nineteen and beautiful. She is strong, nervous, romantic, immensely proud of her Cavalier blood, and passionately loves her young husband. To this end, she withstood her father's displeasure, withstood his reproaches, listened to his warning predictions with unshakable fidelity, and left his home without his blessing, proud and happy in the evidence she thus gave regarding the quality of affection that made her home into her heart...
