Kendra Donovan’s adventures in nineteenth-century England
continue when she is called upon to investigate the murder of a
spymaster. February 1816: A race through the icy, twisting
cobblestone streets of London ends inside an abandoned church—and
a horrific discovery. Bow Street Runner Sam Kelly is called to
investigate the grisly murder of Sir Giles Holbrooke, who was left
naked and garroted, with his tongue cut out. Yet as perplexing as
that crime is, it becomes even stranger when symbols that resemble
crosses mysteriously begin to appear across the dead man’s flesh
during autopsy. Is it a message from the killer? Sam turns to the
one person in the kingdom who he believes can answer that question
and solve the bizarre murder—the Duke of Aldridge’s odd but
brilliant ward, Kendra Donovan. While Kendra has been trying to
adapt to her new life in the early nineteenth century, she is eager
to use her skills as a twenty-first century FBI agent again. And
she will need all her investigative prowess, because Sir Giles was
not an average citizen. He was one of England’s most clever
spymasters, whose life had been filled with intrigue and
subterfuge. Kendra’s return to the gritty streets and glittering
ballrooms of London takes her down increasingly dangerous paths.
When another body is discovered, murdered in the same apparently
ritualistic manner as Sir Giles, the American begins to realize
that they are dealing with a killer with an agenda, whose mind has
been twisted by rage and bitterness so that the price of a
perceived betrayal is death.
