A pompous Under-Secretary, a neurotic American society belle, a brutal knight, and a shady Scottish radical peer are only some of Trollope's engaging and revealing characters in this mélange of detective story, political novel, and ironic romance. Her cousin, Frank Greystock, loyally assists her, much to the distress of his fiancée, Lucy Morris. Her determination to hold on to a fabulous necklace in the face of legal harrassment by her brother-in-law's solicitor entangles her in a series of crimes- apparent and real- and contrived love-affairs. Lizzie Eustace is young, beautiful, and widowed.
