Mystery Historical
Karen Odden’s enthralling debut historical mystery
transports readers to Victorian England, where a terrifying
railway disaster plunges a headstrong young noblewoman into
a conspiracy that reaches to the highest corridors of
power.
Following a humiliating fourth
Season in London, Lady Elizabeth Fraser is on her way back
to her ancestral country estate when her train careens off
the rails and bursts into flames. Though she is injured, she
manages to drag herself and her unconscious mother out of
the wreckage, and amid the chaos that ensues, a brilliant
young railway surgeon saves her mother’s life. Elizabeth
feels an immediate connection with Paul Wilcox—though
society would never deem a medical man eligible for the
daughter of an earl.
After Paul reveals that
the train wreck was no accident, and the inspector who tried
to prevent it dies under mysterious circumstances, Elizabeth
undertakes a dangerous investigation of her own that leads
back to her family’s buried secrets. The more she learns,
the more she must risk. Not only are her dowry and her
reputation at stake; Paul’s very life hangs in the balance
when he is arrested for manslaughter. As the trial draws
near, and Parliament prepares for a vote that will change
the course of the nation, Elizabeth uncovers a conspiracy
that has been years in the making. But time is running out
for her to see justice done.
