lady with a secret Kate Shackleton's sterling reputation for
courageous sleuthing attracts the attention of the venerable Lady
Coulton. Hidden in her past is a daughter, born out of wedlock and

discover the truth. Who would want Dr Potter dead? Does Lady
Coulton's missing daughter hold a vital clue? As the stories start
to emerge in the seemingly quiet Leeds Library, Kate is learning
fast that in this case, she can't judge a book by its cover . . .
