    About this ebook

    Action-adventure novelist G. A. Henty was renowned for his ability to craft explosive, unexpected plot twists, and the mystery at the center of A Search for a Secret is a prime example of the author's top-notch narrative skills. When Agnes Ashleigh is unexpectedly bequeathed a fortune, she believes her life has changed for the better. But the two scheming sisters of her benefactor have other plans for the windfall that should rightfully be hers. Will Agnes prove her case before it's too late?
