After numerous adventures Irene has finally come home, not
out of loyalty to her native shores but because of a
baffling puzzle, and the one thing that haunts her. Irene
has no real memory of her childhood and has spent most of
her life creating a persona to fit her passions. When
Daredevil reporter Nelly Bly lures Irene to America by
hinting that she knows of Irene's parentage, Irene takes
the bait and in doing so, embarks upon a pursuit of the
most notorious woman of the nineteenth century.
Before the intrigue-ridden quest is over, Irene will
uncover murderous international political conspiracies,
lost treasure, and finally . . . the full, shocking secret
of her birth.
