Publisher's Synopsis
It all began with the turn of a card in a seedy gambling den. In 1920 the Burton-Masseys lost their home, Pendleton Grange, their lands and businesses, including Massey's Yort. James Mulligan now owned Massey's Yort, which quickly became known as Mulligan's Yard. He was a silent, brooding character but many women found him attractive. Did he hide a dark secret in the cellars of Pendleton Grange? Why did he involve himself in the lives of the Burton-Massey girls? As the world roared into the Twenties, a battle between Good and Evil was about to rage of its own accord. 'I believe that Ruth Hamilton is very much the successor to Catherine Cookson.'
