Publisher's Summary

The Chief Legatee by Anna Katharine Green.

Narrated by Christianne Lupher.

Hours after his lavish wedding in early 20th-century New York, millionaire Roger Ransom discovers his bride, Georgian, missing. The sinister man who crashed their reception seems to be the culprit, but evidence turns up that she left of her own free will. In a journey of surprising revelations, Ransom uncovers a truth more complex and bizarre than he could have imagined.

Author Anna Katharine Green is known as the mother of the detective novel for launching the genre late in the 19th century and sparking that passion for fireside sleuthing that still burns among audiences today.
