The jury had not evidence enough to convict him -- nor enough to comfortably exonerate him. Eustace could not bear the weight of her discovery; he fled to the continent, to live in anonymity. But Valeria knew her husband, and she loved him. She knew he was innocent, too, with the sort of intuition that guides the lucky flawlessly. And she set out to prove it to the world. * Valeria Woodville is one of English literature's earliest women detectives -- that makes the novel historically remarkable. But it's also a great fun mystery, full of plot and circumstance, and a rogue's gallery of odd Dickensian characters. The Law and the Lady is as remarkable a novel today as it was when it was first published in 1875. 591267 book 1999 The Law and the Lady total:147|5:26|4:66|3:41|2:9|1:5| 147 540 269 25 1 1 false false Fri Mar 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Feb 18 12:32:16 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 13 12:25:05 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Feb 17 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 14:04:47 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 14:15:03 -0800 2009
