Leys is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. This volume continues the story of Alec Lindsay, who is embroiled in a legal battle surrounding his uncle's will, which has led to suspicions of fraud against him. The narrative dives into the complexities of family loyalty, deception, and the harsh realities of social justice as Alec grapples with accusations that threaten his life and reputation. The opening portion of the book introduces us to a tense atmosphere where legal discussions about the missing draft of Alec's uncle's will unfold between Mr. Hatchett, Alec's solicitor, and his clerk, Mr. Beattie. Suspicion falls upon Alec as the various parties question the legitimacy of the will's hefty bequest to the Free Church versus the substantially reduced amount actually left behind. As Alec convalesces from an illness, he learns of the tumultuous events following his uncle's death, which lead him into a spiral of self-doubt and anxiety about his standing in a society quick to judge. The intrigue increases as Alec faces the prospect of defending his innocence in a court that seems set against him.
