For fans of "Downton Abbey," this "New York Times" bestseller is
the enthralling true story of family secrets and aristocratic
intrigue in the days before WWI
After the Ninth Duke of Rutland, one of the wealthiest men in
Britain, died alone in a cramped room in the servants' quarters of
Belvoir Castle on April 21, 1940, his son and heir ordered the
room, which contained the Rutland family archives, sealed. Sixty
years later, Catherine Bailey became the first historian given
access. What she discovered was a mystery: The Duke had
painstakingly erased three periods of his life from all family
records--but why? As Bailey uncovers the answers, she also provides
an intimate portrait of the very top of British society in the
turbulent days leading up to World War I.
