Description

A novel that takes the reader back in time and into the life and mind of one of the most enigmatic and notorious women of the 19th century, Grace Marks. Irish emigrant Grace has been convicted of the murder of her employer and his housekeeper/mistress and is serving a life sentence in a Canadian prison but claims she has no memory of the murders. Enter Dr. Simon Jordan, an expert in the new field of mental illness in its relation to crimes. As he delves deeper into her mind and memories, will he find that she is a victim of circumstances or a blood-thirsty femme fatale. Basis for the riviting 2017 TV mini-series starring Sarah Gadon in a brilliant and chilling performance as Grace.Neat crisp copy ( slight stain on bottom of dj)
