Edwardian Romance and History Gains a Twist of Suspense
Rosemary Gresham has no family beyond the band of former
urchins that helped her survive as a girl in the mean
streets of London. Grown now, they concentrate on stealing
high-value items and have learned how to blend into
upper-class society. But when Rosemary must determine
whether a certain wealthy gentleman is loyal to Britain or
to Germany, she is in for the challenge of a lifetime. How
does one steal a family's history, their very name?
Peter Holstein, given his family's German blood, writes his
popular series of adventure novels under a pen name. With
European politics boiling and his own neighbors suspicious
of him, Peter debates whether it might be best to change his
name for good. When Rosemary shows up at his door pretending
to be a historian and offering to help him trace his family
history, his question might be answered.
But as the two work together and Rosemary sees his gracious
reaction to his neighbors' scornful attacks, she wonders if
her assignment is going down the wrong path. Is it too late
to help him prove that he's more than his name?
