Not even settled into marriage yet, Arianna and her husband
find themselves en route to Edinburgh with Basil Henning.
In their last adventure, they learned more about a traitor
named the Fox. This person has escaped all attempts at
exposure and has ruthless killers working for him. On their
way to London, the three are beset by a trio of idiots.
Leaving their bodies behind, they complete the trip to
Edinburgh. Sandro and Basil set out to reconnect with
Basil's old schoolmates, leaving Arianna to seek out
information in the market.
What they learn will send them back to London with news of a
disaster that could hand Bonaparte the means to defeat
England. Basil was shot shortly after their disocvery of
Girton's body; further complicating the situation.
Arianna goes undercover at the Royal Institution, as society
devoted to chemistry and organized by Humphery Davy. Sandro
and Basil investigate the mysterious disappearance of
another chemist.
As they come closer to exposing the organization, other
secrets will be exposed. Sandro must introduce Arianna
to one of his closest friends, Miss Sophia Kirtland.
Given that Sandra married Arianna in a rather hasty fashion,
she has always been rather jealous of Sophia's relationship
with Sandro. Sophia will be needed to introduce Arianna to
the Royal Institute since Basil is recovering from his
wound.
Truly a delight to read, RECIPE FOR TREASON, the third book
featuring these
characters combines historical fact with a fictitious
villain and excellent conjecture. Chocoholics will love the
book for the recipes alone. Historical mystery lovers will
be enthralled by the politics of the early nineteenth
century. Regency readers won't want to miss the deepening
of the relationship between Sandro and Arianna.
England, 1814. Lady Arianna Hadley and her husband, the Earl
of Saybrook, want nothing more than to savor a quiet life
embellished by the occasional cup of the finest chocolate.
However, when they receive orders to travel to Scotland and
capture an elusive traitor, they feel their duty to the
Crown must come first.
In a laboratory in Scotland, they discover the coprse of a
chemistry professor--and cryptic papers hinting at a
dangerous new discovery now in enemy hands. Racing against
time, Arianna and Saybrook pursue their most cunning and
dangerous adversary yet through a complex network of
intrigue involving exotic chocolates, daredevil aviators, a
missing inventor, and a secret recipe that must be recovered
at any cost...
