Beschreibung

This novel was originally published under the title A Daughter of the Marionis and was reprinted several times. The story of a vendetta, makes a capital plot for the novelist who takes characters from Southern life for his story, and in Margharita, “a daughter of the Marionis,” we have a not impossible character. She does not appear till late in the story, but takes up the vendetta of her uncle with a will. Marionis himself is a fine figure, and the scene when, having been let out of prison an old man, he seeks to resume his scheme of vengeance, and visits the degenerate committee of the “White Hyacinth Society” is full of stern pathos. The struggle Margharita has between love and hatred is also well described, and the interest in the story is never allowed to flag, and it continues absorbing to the end.

    Attorney Jack Newlin comes home one evening to find his wife, Honor, dead on the floor of their elegant dining room.Convinced that he knows who killed her - and determined to hid the truth - Jack decides to make it look as though he did it. Staging the crime scene so that the evidence incriminates him, he then calls the police. And to hammer the final nail in his coffin, he hires the most inexperienced lawyer he can find, a reluctant rookie by the name of Mary Di Nunzio, employed at the hot Philadelphia firm of Rosato and Associates. 
    Unfortunately for Jack, hiring Mary may turn out to be his only mistake. 
    Though inexperienced, Mary doubts Jack's confession and begins to investigate the crime. Her ethics and instincts tell her she can't defend a man who wants only one thing - to convict himself. Or can she? Smarter, gutsier, and more determined than she has any right to be, Mary decides to stock with the case. With help from the most unexpected sources, she sets out to prove what really happened - because as any lawyer knows, a case is never as simple as it seems. 
    And nothing is ever certain until the final moment of truth.

    The Past Never Stays Dead
     
    As the anesthetic seeped into his veins, Jack Bardlow counted backward from a twisted tapestry of memories—haunting specters of love and death that clawed at his mind. Surgery promised to fix the broken pieces of his body, but the jagged shards of his past remained embedded deep in his soul.
     
    Jack's world teetered on the razor’s edge, between the fond echoes of Katie’s laughter and the grim shadow of her departure. Each recollection was a double-edged sword, slicing through the fragile hope of redemption with the same precision as the scalpel hovering above him.
     
    In the sterile chill of the operating room, Jack longed to drift back into the warmth of moments lost forever. But even amidst the haze of anesthesia, he knew one truth—visions of her couldn't mend the emptiness she left behind.
