Cuando el anciano Allan Armadale escribe su terrible confesión en el lecho de muerte, no puede ni imaginarse las repercusiones que tendrá esa carta cuando su hijo recién nacido la lea años después. Por segunda vez, dos hombres con el mismo nombre y el mismo apellido se verán implicados en la prosecución de una herencia que parece maldita. Mientras tanto, se suceden las sigilosas intrigas de Lydia Gwilt, un personaje misterioso y perverso que horrorizó a los lectores victorianos y que todavía hoy sobrecoge. Una mujer que llegó a ser definida por la crítica como "una de las villanas más curtidas". Con estos hilos y la complicidad del lector, el maestro Wilkie Collins teje una trama envolvente y seductora que brega entre identidades confusas, maldiciones heredadas, rivalidades amorosas, espionaje… y asesinatos.

First Sentence

"ON a warm May night, in the year eighteen hundred and fifty-one, the Reverend Decimus Brock-at that time a visitor to the Isle of Man-retired to his bedroom, at Castletown, with a serious personal responsibility in close pursuit of him, and with no distinct idea of the means by which he might relieve himself from the pressure of his present circumstances."
