Originally published by Bloomsbury in 1996, this is a later printing. The book is in very good condition for its age. Some tanning to pages and some foxing to top edges of pages not encroaching on page faces. Price still on dustjacket. Small nick at edge of dustjacket where it folds in. “Sixteen years have passed since Grace was locked up at the age of sixteen, for the cold-blooded murders of her employer Mr Thomas Kinnear and his housekeeper/lover Nancy Montgomery. Her alleged accomplice in the crimes, James McDermot, paid the extreme sentence of the law and was hanged on November 21 1843. But some thought Grace was innocent and her sentence has been commuted to life imprisonment. After a spell in the Lunatic Asylum, Grace claims he has no memory of the murders. Dr Simon Jordan is one of the up and coming young men of his day in the field and mental health. His professional objective is to wake the part of Grace’s mind which lies dormant – and then what will he find? IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH. This is a very heavy book.
