Dr Julian Emerson Holds Lorna and Mother in Paxton Saga
Henry Emerson, wealthy stepfather of Pauline Mallingate and Lorna, vanishes at a summer resort and is found prisoner at The Moat in Yorkshire. Dr Julian Emerson, posing as a relative, abducts Lorna and her sick mother to Mulberry House. Gerald Craven, Mrs Northwood, and Noel Shannon pursue the scheme, uncovering that Mrs Creswold is Pauline Mallingate. Shannon learns Emerson’s motive ties to a long‑running family feud and a demand for money.
