The Secret Fury

Wealthy touring classical pianist Ellen Ewing is poised to marry when a stranger disrupts the ceremony and accuses her of an earlier nuptial. She faces social suspicion, legal jeopardy, and a mounting sense of isolation as the case tests her sanity. Despite the mounting pressure, she remains determined to prove her innocence and uncover the truth.

David is Ellen's fiancé, steadfast and supportive throughout the ordeal. He pieces together clues—a seashell, a unique dory, a stray witness—that could prove Ellen's whereabouts. His loyalty drives the investigation as he confronts danger to help clear her name.

Kent is the Ewing family's longtime lawyer and the mastermind behind the hoax, seeking revenge on Ellen's father. He manipulates witnesses, probes for weaknesses, and aims to trap Ellen in a murder accusation to serve his vendetta. His controlled exterior hides a ruthless willingness to ruin lives for personal justice.

Eric Lowell is the district attorney and a recent ex-suitor who contributes to the prosecution. He navigates the case alongside Kent, balancing legal duty with the emotional undercurrents of a past romance. He plays a critical role in shaping the courtroom battle and the case's progression.

Lucian Randall is the man Ellen is accused of marrying; he taunts her and becomes a threatening figure in the backroom. His murder and the subsequent investigation push the plot toward its twist, exposing the depths of deceit surrounding Ellen's past. He embodies the danger and manipulation at the heart of the conspiracy.
