Jenny Lewis had been a widow for two years. She missed her husband but it would be a lie to say she did not enjoy the freedom that widowhood bought. She was mistress of a large house and several hundred acres of land.
She rode across her fields now accompanied by her estate manager, Captain Ryan.
“What’s that over there by the bushes?” Jenny asked pulling up her horse.
Ryan dismounted and walked over to the thickly brambled hedgerow.
“It’s a body,” he called, crouching down. “Not long dead from the looks of him.”
“Him?” she queried.
“It’s a man.”
