I never met Gabrielle Hewish. I suppose I should really call her by that name, for her marriage took the colour out of it as surely as if she had entered a nunnery, and adopted the frigid and sisterly label of some female saint. Nobody had ever heard of her husband before she married him, and nobody ever heard of Gabrielle afterwards, except those who were acquainted with the story of Arthur Payne, as I was, and, perhaps, a coroner's jury in Devonshire, a county where juries are more than usually slow of apprehension. In these days you will not even find the name of Hewish in Debrett, for Gabrielle was the baronet's only child, and when Sir Jocelyn died, in the early days of his daughter's married life, the family, which for the last half century had been putting out no more than a few feeble and not astonishingly brilliant leaves on its one living branch, withered altogether, as well it might in the thin Irish soil where it had stubbornly held its own since the days of Queen Elizabeth.

The Tragic Bride is a novel based on a true event which is written by Francis Brett Young. The story of Frances Shea, wife of Reggie Kray, is one of the most tragic stories of the Sixties. Frances was lured into an outwardly glamorous world of nightclubs, expensive clothes, and showbiz parties, but soon discovered the real world of the Kray Twins, where violence, drink, drugs, and terror dominated everything. She broke away and briefly enjoyed other relationships, but Reggie would never let her go. Frances and her family were intricately entwined with the Twins' descent from gangland extortion and cruelty into senseless murder and mayhem by the time she wed Reggie in their 'Wedding of the Year' in 1965. Frances passed away from a heroin overdose two years later. Now, 50 years later, the truth about the life of Frances Shea and her short marriage to Reggie Kray is finally revealed in this novel. This book explodes the myths surrounding the marriage and reveals how the effect of this tragic, doomed relationship haunted the lives of Frances's loved ones right to the end.
