Erika Ellis is available to everyone, each night, on their TV—news at five-thirty and again at six o’clock. Viewers think they know her.
They don’t, not like I do.
I’ve watched her—closer than the others—not only on the news, but at all hours of the day and night. I’ve taken my time and learned her routines and her secrets. I know what she needs.
I’ll bring her fantasies to life, even the ones she’s yet to realize. I’ll be the one to teach her that in submission there is power. She’ll understand that she doesn’t need accolades from her viewers or the world. She doesn’t need to be primped and primed. My praise is what she’ll live for. Bound and helpless is where her freedom will be found.
The truth behind the stage makeup and faux laugh is that she’s mine—nothing she can do or say will change that.
She doesn’t know my unconventional plans.
That’s okay.
She will.
It’s time to make my move.
I’m Victor Cross, the only man for the job.

"A skillful, clever, and engrossing book." -Scotsman "It holds the attention of the reader from the first page to the last." -Yorkshire Post "Those who embark on \'The Mystery of Lincoln\'s Inn\' will not feel that they can quit the atmosphere of the Law Courts whilst it remains." -Gentlewoman "Mr. Robert Machray is not a man who believes in half measures; he means a mystery to be a mystery right up to the last chapter, and has evidently written \'The Mystery of Lincoln\'s Inn\' on this admirable principle. It is a most ingenious story, but it would be a shame to give Mr. Machray away by unfolding the details of his intricate plot. Suffice it to say that this is a tale of an unscrupulous lawyer who lived a double life and kept a secret drawer in his room, all of which led tot he undoing of his guileless partner." -The Bookman Views: 219
