тАЬYou have yet to discover that you are dealing with one who can hold her own against the world!тАЭ
Murder on an omnibus? Marriage in a prison? Mysterious disappearances? William Le QueuxтАЩs The Temptress is chock full of sensational circumstances, and somehow they all trace back to the enigmatic Val├йrie Dedieu.
Hugh Trethowen, deep in debt and readying himself to flee from his creditors, is saved by the news that his older brother is dead and he has just inherited his familyтАЩs fortune. Not long after, he becomes acquainted with Mademoiselle Dedieu and falls in love with her. Hugh is intent on marrying her, against the staunch advice of his friend John Egerton. John tries to warn Hugh away from Val├йrie, but, unbeknownst to Hugh, JohnтАЩs very freedom rests in Val├йrieтАЩs hands. Though both Val├йrie and John think they have successfully kept Hugh in the dark about their secrets, fate intervenes and Hugh uncovers evidence that tips him off to his fianc├йeтАЩs unsavory past.
