Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from What Became of Mr. Desmond
What happens to these people can happen to us; and that is the strangest and truest of all the things wrapped up in the phrase Truth is stranger than fiction. So, there was nothing at all surprising, looked at from the point of view of the philosopher, 'in what happened at Fairlands in the case of Mr. David Des mond. It happens very often, to a number of people we do not know, and of whom we read with a casual and short-lived interest, in little paragraphs in the papers; and it is safe to presume, might at any given moment happen to you and me, or to our next-door neighbour. It may be very disconcerting, and it may be very surprising to us, or to them; but it is not in itself surprising.
