The characters immortalised in 'Silent Torment' and 'Elusive Shadows' re-emerge in a confusion of loyalty, disloyalty, intrigue, deceit and passion, in mid-nineteenth century industrial revolution Britain. Significantly, Rosie, Jimmy, Marcus, Kate, Robert, Jack and Daniel figure prominently in a tangled web of seemingly impossible situations. All are destined to reach climatic conclusions, thus ending the trilogy of exciting sub-stories and plots, sometimes calamitous, sometimes disastrous. Will the actions of the principal characters determine their future or will fate dictate their destinies? Oh what a 'tangled web' we weave, when first we practise to deceive!" Sir Walter Scott-Marmion-A Tale of Flodden Field.
