Book Description
Then it was true! This was the kindly neighbour, about whom the prison governor had spoken. It was her mother, that tall, lovely woman who paced the prison flags with such unconcern. 'A kind neighbour took the child' - Mrs Reddle was the kind neighbour, and had brought her up in ignorance of her origin.
The printed page swam before her eyes as she sat, her hands tightly clasped, her mind confounded by the confirmation of this tremendous discovery.
Her mother was innocent. It was something more than a natural revolt against the thought that in her veins ran the blood of a murderess; it was a conviction, an inspiration, the faith which is knowledge.
She went back to her lodgings, calm and determined. She would prove her mother's innocence, devoting her life to that object.
Thus Lois Reddle began an adventure into danger, intrigue and suspence.
