Book description
To Sir Robert Blenkinsopp, his frail, exquisite wife Amy is just
another possession - to be used, misused or discarded like anything else
at Newton Law, his grand estate on Northumberland's wild moore. The
gamekeeper they call Duffy thinks he has never seen anything quite so
brave as Amy Blenkinsopp as she faces up to her husband - and is
overjoyed when the brute is found unconscious at the bottom of his own
staircase, deprived of the power of speech and movement. With the help
of Sir Robert's servants and the increasingly devoted Duffy, she makes
the estate not only happier but richer as well. But Sir Robert
Blenkinsopp is not dead. Imprisoned in the wreck of his body, his only
companion a loathesome servant, he is plotting a vicious revenge on Amy,
on her children, and on the man who has come to love her.
