Most everyone refers to India Black as a whore. She thinks
of herself as an independent business woman. India owns and
operates Lotus House, an upscale whorehouse in 1876 London.
When a government official has a heart attack and dies at
her establishment, she tries to get his body out in the
middle of the night without anyone noticing. She is not
successful.
That's when India is enlisted by British government
officials (actually kidnapped and brought to them) to help
retrieve some documents the dead gentleman had with him at
the time of his death. India finds herself matching wits
with Russian spies, English clerics and crafty politicians.
She works with French, a very handsome British spy, as they
crash a Russian Embassy party, break into a hotel room to
steal her dead guest's document case, and then flee across
country at night in the middle of a snow storm in pursuit
of some Russian spies.
It seems that every time they get possession of the case,
the Russians get the jump on them and steal it back. This
continues to occur all the way across England to the coast
and across the English Channel to France. India and French
find themselves in some precarious positions, while
pursuing the Russian spies trying to capture the document
case and save England from embarrassment.
Just what are these important documents that cannot get
into Russian hands? How could they embarrass England? These
documents could change the course of history as we know it.
Bone up on your English and Russian history with this witty
account of India Black's escapades. She's quite a
character! This author promises to send India on more
espionage adventures you are sure to enjoy.
