'A story of passionate love and implacable hatred. ... And ink could not be black enough in which to write those words, for this is strong stuff that Mr. Timms has given us. Balsamo is a cripple of Genoa, a mild, self-effacing personality, whose anguish at the loss of Marie Pleyel, the girl he loves, turns him into a man of wild, unscrupulous daring, a fiend, who will stop at nothing in his desire to triumph over his enemies and gain his revenge.'
