Peter's character is slowly exposed and he turns out quite differently than he first appears.From the dust cover...SHE HAD ALMOST LOVED HIM BUT NOW SHE DESPISED HIMMiss Helena Hammond had suffered a tragedy that had left not only herself but her family at Point Non Plus deeply in debt and with no apparent escape.

He could only hope she would come to realize this before it was too late.
