The Dead Secret (CH)

Rosamond Treverton lay dying at Porthgenna Tower, the family mansion in Cornwall. Calling her lady's maid to her side she confesses a terrible secret from her past, but dies before she can extract a promise from Sarah to reveal all to her husband. Hiding the written confession in a remote part of the mansion, Sarah carries the burden alone for fifteen years. Worn out by the strain, it is at this point that she is pitched headlong into a chain of events which could lead to discovery by the innocent she is trying to protect. Will the secret be revealed? What lies in store for the young Rosamond, her blind husband and their infant son, heir to Porthgenna?
