Now, fifteen years later, David has been found alive and well in County Mayo.When the charismatic young man returns to the family’s Devonshire estate, he receives a mixed welcome. His elder sister, Lucy, distrusts him from the start. Jason, David’s brother-in-law and David’s cousin, George, are even less pleased to see another heir to the Tredington fortune.

Someone knows the truth about his past and wants him to disappear all over again. David must find out who and why before it’s too late…
