Harvard grad student Eloise Kelly achieved the academic
coup of the century when she unmasked the spy who saved
England from Napoleon...
...But now she has a million questions about the Pink
Carnation's deadly French nemesis, the Black Tulip. And
she's pretty sure that her handsome onagain, off-again
crush, Colin Selwick, has the answers somewhere in his
archives. But what she discovers in an old codebook is
something juicier than she ever imagined.
The Pink Carnation, history's most elusive spy and England's
only hope for preventing a Napoleonic invasion, returns in
Lauren Willig's dazzling imaginative new historical romance.
The Masque of the Black Tulip opens with the murder of a
courier from the London War Office, his confidential
dispatch for the Pink Carnation stolen.
Meanwhile, the Black Tulip, France's deadliest spy, is in
England with instructions to track down and kill the Pink
Carnation. Only Henrietta Uppington and Miles Dorrington
know where the Pink Carnation is stationed. Using a secret
code book, Henrietta has deciphered a message detailing the
threat of the Black Tulip.
Meanwhile, the War Office has enlisted Miles to track down
the notorious French spy before he (or she) can finish the
deadly mission. But what Henrietta and Miles don't know is
that while they are trying to find the Black Tulip (and
possibly falling in love), the Black Tulip is watching them.
