Copyright © 1979 by Souvenir Press Ltd Bridie Chance holds a secret she does not know she possesses, a secret that both friends and enemies are anxious to discover. As she struggles in an astonishing way to support herself and her family, Bridie meets with failure and success, finds love and heartbreak and danger - until at last the masks are cast aside and the true faces revealed, in a nightmare ordeal under the shadow of the Capricorn Stone. It was a cruel fate for a young woman brought up in luxury. Bridie Chance discovered quite suddenly that she had no home, no friends, no money, only a legacy of shame from the man who had been her beloved father, but whom death had transformed into a thieving stranger. It was an inheritance that held a deadly secret from a past she could not understand, and offered the promise of a future she could not imagine. When necessity forced Bridie Chance out of the small village that had been her home, in Victorian England, it led her to an astonishing new life as a comic on London's colorful music hall stages and it brought her new friends, including the man she would love forever; and new enemies, including the one who would try to kill her. A fine new novel of romantic suspense, filled with details of life as a vaudeville performer in the Victorian era, and a plot of many satisfying twists and turns that takes the reader from the countryside of nineteenth-century England to the teeming streets of London, to Paris, and on to a sinister chateau where finally the secret begins to reveal itself in all its glittering evil and danger.
