When a man is summoned home to attend the marriage to another man of the
woman he loves, and when the bridegroom is his own brother, the
situation is certainly very striking. The wedding does not take place,
for the bridegroom is murdered. The scene in which the victim appears to
his brother, on the latter's arrival at Dover, is singularly impressive.
All this is disclosed in the opening chapter, and paves the way for a
story which becomes more and more intense and interesting as its
remarkable plot is developed.
