Mystery Historical
Known for her original plots, deft characterization, and
lyrical voice, Juliana Gray presents an extraordinary novel
of an uncommon pursuit… February, 1906. As the personal secretary of the
recently departed Duke of Olympia—and a woman of scrupulous
character—Miss Emmeline Rose Truelove never expected her
duties to involve steaming through the Mediterranean on a
private yacht, under the prodigal eye of one Lord Silverton,
the most charmingly corrupt bachelor in London. But here
they are, improperly bound on a quest to find the duke’s
enigmatic heir, current whereabouts unknown. An expert on anachronisms, Maximilian Haywood was last seen
at an archaeological dig on the island of Crete. And from
the moment Truelove and Silverton disembark, they are met
with incidents of a suspicious nature: a ransacked flat, a
murdered government employee, an assassination attempt. As
they travel from port to port on Max’s trail, piecing
together the strange events of the days before his
disappearance, Truelove will discover the folly of her
misconceptions—about the whims of the heart, the motives of
men, and the nature of time itself…
