This was a wonderful story! It was one of my Christmas books this year, and one of the first ones I read. It was an unusual story line with plenty of mystery. Sir Wingrave, imprisoned wrongfully for killing a man, finishes his sentence and plans his vengeance against those who would not tell the truth to help him during his trial. A young journalist, enamored with the thought of spending time with a man with such a history, offers himself as a secretary. Sir Wingrave tries to discourage him, saying he cannot employ any man with a conscience, for he does not intend to hold himself by any scruples in his quest for vengeance.
Does Sir Wingrave succeed in taking his vengeance? Does his secretary betray him or help him?
A wonderful mystery, and one of my new favorite books!
