In this suspenseful and heart-pounding novel from New
York Times bestselling author Lucinda Riley, an
ambitious young journalist unravels a dangerous mystery that
threatens to devastate the British monarchy.
Keeping secrets is a dangerous
game.
When Sir James Harrison, one the greatest
actors of his generation, passes away at the age of
ninety-five, he leaves behind not just a heartbroken family
but also a secret so shocking, it could rock the English
establishment to its core.
Joanna Haslam, an
up-and-coming reporter, is assigned to cover the legendary
actor's funeral, attended by glitzy celebrities of every
background. But Joanna stumbles on something dark beneath
the glamour: the mention of a letter James Harrison has left
behind—the contents of which many have been desperate to
keep concealed for over seventy years. As she peels back the
veil of lies that has shrouded the secret, she realizes that
she's close to uncovering something deadly serious—and the
royal family may be implicated. Before long, someone is on
her tracks, attempting to prevent her from discovering the
truth. And they'll stop at nothing to reach the letter
before she does.
Full of salacious scandal, shocking
twists, and captivating romance, and written in Lucinda
Riley's signature "vividly drawn and lushly atmospheric"
(RT Book Reviews) prose, The Royal Secret is
"a full-throttle escapist adventure" (Lancashire
Evening Post).
