At the request of Queen Victoria's prime minister, Benjamin
Disraeli, Liberty Lane is dispatched to Brinkburn Hall in search of
answers. The deranged aristocrat Lord Brinkburn is nearing death,
with his elder son, Stephen, eagerly waiting to inherit his
title--until Lady Brinkburn's startling announcement that the heir
is illegitimate. Chaos ensues.
The rivalry between Stephen and his younger brother, Miles,
heats up dangerously. Liberty's arrival only stirs an already
volatile mix, and she is greeted soon after by the odd
disappearance of one brother . . . and by a shocking murder within
the family's circle. Secrets and scandal run rampant throughout the
cold and loveless Buckinghamshire estate far from the polish of
London's aristocracy--as the plucky young investigator races to
separate truth from falsehood, villains from victims, before death
takes up a more permanent residence.
