Trial of the innocent

the long version

Despite Eve’s Sheridan’s misgivings, on a sunny June day in 1893 her younger sister Rebecca marries a man who might be too good to be true. The handsome, debonair Giles Dawson takes his lovely bride away to live with him in a dream cottage in England, yet Rebecca’s letters to Eve convey a tone of uncertainty as well as a sense of danger. Desperate to uncover the truth and protect her sister, Eve is thrust into a maelstrom of intrigue and terror, and is forced to turn to the one man she cannot trust -- Alexander MacKay, a detective for Pinkerton’s National Detective Agency. Surrounded by evil men at every turn, embroiled in a case that might cost her life, Eve struggles to trust God’s sovereign purpose, as well as the man who is willing to follow her across the ocean to protect her.
