Lady Emily must stop a serial killer whose sights are set on the
new king . . . Lying on her deathbed, Queen Victoria asks to speak
privately with trusted royal agent Colin Hargreaves, slipping him a
letter with her last command: Une sanz pluis. Sapere aude. 'One and
no more. Dare to know.' The year is 1901 and the death of Britain's
longest-reigning monarch has sent all the Empire into mourning. But
for Lady Emily and her dashing husband Colin, the grieving is cut
short as another royal death takes centre stage. A body has been
found in the Tower of London, posed to look like the murdered
medieval king Henry VI. And soon after, a second corpse is
discovered in London's exclusive Berkeley Square, the mutilated
remains staged to evoke the violent demise of Edward II. It becomes
evident that the individual behind the crimes plans to kill again
and again. The quest to find the murderer takes Emily deep into the
capital's underbelly. But clues leading to the killer are elusive,
and even more puzzling are the anonymous letters Colin has been
receiving since Victoria's death. Could the killer be targeting her
successor, Edward VII? Praise for Tasha Alexander: 'Tasha Alexander
has created Victorian London's most colourful sleuth' Jacqueline
Winspear 'Tasha Alexander is one to watch - and read . . . she
knows how to construct a compelling plot . . . there's depth and
sensitivity which sets her apart' Huffington Post
