A brilliant financier is betrayed by his syndicate partners and imprisoned on fraud charges. Upon release, he discovers that the conspirators failed to seize his fortune because the mine shares were registered in his name alone. Now wealthy and free, he systematically destroys those who wronged him-driving one to bankruptcy and prison, another to disgrace and suicide, while others face ruin of different kinds.
His unlikely ally is an eccentric former detective whose courage and loyalty prove invaluable when danger strikes. As the avenger navigates threats from desperate criminals and schemes from Monte Carlo to the remote Norfolk marshes, he finds unexpected redemption through his partner's daughter-a clear-eyed young woman whose steady presence gradually transforms his consuming vendetta into something approaching peace.
This classic tale of revenge, romance, and redemption moves from foggy English prisons to glittering Continental casinos, populated by aristocrats, con men, desperate gamblers, and a Russian princess whose stolen jewels add yet another dimension to this complex mission of justice.
