About this book

An American mining engineer, newly rich after years of striking luck, lands in London with money to spend and no clear purpose. Charles Spencer soon crosses paths with Helen Wynton, a young woman of modest means sent to the Alps on a writing commission, and his interest in her sets the plot in motion. What follows blends romance with light intrigue among the mountains and drawing rooms of Edwardian society, complete with misunderstandings, rivals, and a scheme working quietly in the background. Louis Tracy wrote for readers who wanted comfortable adventure and a satisfying match, and he delivers both.
