Guy Mannering
by Walter Scott
"Guy Mannering" by Walter Scott is a novel published in 1815. When young Harry Bertram witnesses a murder and vanishes on his fifth birthday, his family's fortunes crumble into ruin. Years later, a mysterious cavalry officer named Vanbeest Brown arrives in Scotland, uncertain of his own origins but drawn to the daughter of Colonel Mannering—the same astrologer who once predicted three moments of deadly peril for the lost Bertram heir. Along Scotland's lawless coast, where smugglers rule and gypsies whisper fortunes, past and present collide.
