The latest mystery from the national bestselling author
of A Study in Death tangles Lady Kiera Darby and
Sebastian Gage in a dangerous web of religious and political
intrigue.
July 1831. In the midst of their idyllic honeymoon in
England’s Lake District, Kiera and Gage’s seclusion is soon
interrupted by a missive from her new father-in-law. A
deadly incident involving a distant relative of the Duke of
Wellington has taken place at an abbey south of Dublin,
Ireland, and he insists that Kiera and Gage look into the
matter.
Intent on discovering what kind of monster could murder a
woman of the cloth, the couple travel to Rathfarnham Abbey
school. Soon a second nun is slain in broad daylight near a
classroom full of young girls. With the sinful killer
growing bolder, the mother superior would like to send the
students home, but the growing civil unrest in Ireland would
make the journey treacherous.
Before long, Kiera starts to suspect that some of the girls
may be hiding a sinister secret. With the killer poised to
strike yet again, Kiera and Gage must make haste and unmask
the fiend, before their matrimonial bliss comes to an
untimely end...
