About this listen

 Mary Roberts Rinehart, often referred to as Americas Agatha Christie, brings us a riveting tale set in the aftermath of World War I, in a suburban town in New York. Our protagonist, Dick Livingstone, is a successful young doctor who finds himself betrothed to Elizabeth Wheeler. However, a shroud of mystery hangs over his past, a past he feels compelled to decipher before he can commit to marriage. Suffering from a memory loss dating back approximately a decade due to an unknown event, Rinehart, inspired by the theories of the renowned Sigmund Freud, expertly navigates through the concept of repressed memory. Journey with Dick as he delves into his forgotten past, unaware of the lurking dangers. Although Rineharts interpretation of memory may not be clinically accurate, remember that this is a thrilling work of fiction from one of the most popular writers of the early twentieth century.
