Mystery Historical
Kendra Donovan's adventures in nineteenth-century
England continue when she is called upon to investigate the
murder of a spymaster.
February 1816: A race
through the icy, twisting cobblestone streets of London ends
inside an abandoned church—and a horrific discovery. Bow
Street Runner Sam Kelly is called to investigate the grisly
murder of Sir Giles Holbrooke, who was left naked and
garroted, with his tongue cut out. Yet as perplexing as that
crime is, it becomes even stranger when symbols that
resemble crosses mysteriously begin to appear across the
dead man's flesh during autopsy. Is it a message from the
killer?
Sam turns to the one person in the kingdom
who he believes can answer that question and solve the
bizarre murder—the Duke of Aldridge's odd but brilliant
ward, Kendra Donovan.
While Kendra has been trying to
adapt to her new life in the early nineteenth century, she
is eager to use her skills as a twenty-first century FBI
agent again. And she will need all her investigative
prowess, because Sir Giles was not an average citizen. He
was one of England's most clever spymasters, whose life had
been filled with intrigue and subterfuge.
Kendra's
return to the gritty streets and glittering ballrooms of
London takes her down increasingly dangerous paths. When
more bodies are discovered, murdered in the same apparently
ritualistic manner as Sir Giles, the American begins to
realize that they are dealing with a killer with an agenda,
whose mind has been twisted by rage and bitterness so that
the price of a perceived betrayal is death.
