Seeing double

the long version

How does a very new bride feel when, within the space of a few minutes, her husband changes from a serene, self-confident gentleman to an abusive, glassy-eyed drunk? The metamorphosis happened when Anne Lindsay left Peter momentarily at the White Horse Pub. This is the start of a story which uses one of fiction's oldest themes in a way that is new, full of suspense, and with the most amazing twist in the denouement. Jewel thefts, obviously faked alibis, and a net of suspicion, jealousy and grave danger turned what should have been lovely days of early marriage into a nightmare.
