About this book
Evening on Palermo's promenade brings together a sociable English visitor and a troubled Sicilian with a name he wants kept quiet. Leonardo di Marioni asks to be called Cortegi, turning a casual conversation over coffee into an encounter charged with secrecy. E. Phillips Oppenheim builds this romantic mystery from that uneasy meeting, setting private anxieties against the city's lively crowds, sea breezes and hotel terraces.
A later scene moves into the household of Lord and Lady St. Maurice, where music recalls painful Sicilian memories and their son Lumley takes an increasing interest in Margharita Briscoe. His visits to the schoolroom and walks with Margharita and Gracie prompt concern between his parents. Readers can expect a novel of concealed identities, jealousy and family tensions, with atmospheric description and conversations that reveal more than the speakers intend.
