SynopsisValeria Brinton marries Eustace Woodville despite objections from Woodville's family. Just a few days after the wedding, various incidents lead Valeria to suspect her husband of hiding a dark secret in his past. She discovers that he has been using a false name, "Woodville," when his true surname is "Macallan." Eustace refuses to discuss it, leading them to curtail their honeymoon and return to London where Valeria learns that he was on trial for his first wife's murder.

In May of that year, Collins acted with Dickens in Edward Bulwer-Lytton's play Not So Bad As We Seem. Among the audience were Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian-inspired dust jacket., Valeria discovers Eustace's secret after just marrying him. She sets out to save their happiness by finding the truth.
