Lady Audley's Secret

When young George Talboys vanishes without a trace, his loyal friend Robert Audley refuses to accept the official story. As Robert digs deeper, his suspicions fall on his own uncle's new wife, the beautiful and seemingly angelic Lucy Audley. Beneath her charm lurks a secret so dangerous that people around her begin to die. Set against the foggy streets of London and the opulent halls of Audley Court, this is a gripping tale of bigamy, arson, and madness—a classic sensation novel that asks how far a woman will go to protect a past she cannot outrun. Faithfully retold in vivid modern English, Lady Audley’s Secret remains as shocking and suspenseful as the day it was first published. Part of Timeless Classics.
