About the book: 2014 / For the first time in Russian - the latest bestseller from the creator of such gothic thrillers as "The Shadow of the Author" and "The Mystery of Roxford Hall Castle". Georgina Ferrars wakes up in Tregannon House, a private hospital in a quiet, remote corner of England, with no memory of what has happened to her over the past three weeks. The head physician, Dr. Maynard Straker, claims that the girl arrived at the hospital the day before under the name Lucy Ashton (that was the name of the tragic heroine of Walter Scott's The Bride of Lammermoor) and lost her memory as a result of an attack. Georgina assures that some mistake has occurred and she is being mistaken for the wrong person, but a telegram sent to her second-hand bookseller uncle in London receives the answer: “Georgina Ferrars is here. Your patient is an impostor." In the blink of an eye, she turns from a voluntary patient into a prisoner. But who could take her place in her uncle's house? And where did her two most precious possessions go: a brooch in the shape of a dragonfly left from her mother, and a blotter with a diary - the only source of information about the missing weeks?
