The Grey Monk

Set against the backdrop of Hertfordshire and Yorkshire in the late 19th century, this is a tale of family pride and the consequences of a son's fall from grace. Sir Gilbert Clare, a proud and imperious man, is devastated to discover that his eldest son Alec has become a reckless gambler and part of a fast set. When Alec is sentenced to prison for a crime he didn't commit, Sir Gilbert must confront his own prejudices and work to clear his son's name.
