Book Description
Those things only happen in the stories I illustrate, thought Lydia Beale as she completed an illustration of a masked man holding a villainous crowd at bay at the point of a pistol. But "those things" began to happen to Lydia very soon, and exceeded her wildest dreams of the world of crime and adventure. She found herself married to a man she met for the first time at the wedding ceremony - a man convicted of murder. Ten minutes later she was a widow. Lydia became the possessor of a large fortune, and the target for as innocent-seeming a schemer as ever planned a murder.
