The Red Mouse

A motor-horn’s insistent blast cuts through afternoon tea—and Miriam Challoner knows the sound is trouble before she sees the red automobile racing up the Avenue.

In the glittering, gossipy world of the rich, Miriam has spent years trying to defend her husband, Lawrence, from the whispers that he is squandering her fortune and his good name. Now his reckless behaviour is becoming impossible to ignore, while society’s sharp-eyed observers are ready to judge not only him but her. As the commotion outside her window turns private disgrace into public spectacle, Miriam must face a question she has tried not to ask: how much longer can she keep faith with the man she married?
