Description

A new adventure from Deanna Raybourn brings together mystery, romance, and historical intrigue. January 1889 marks the beginning of Veronica Speedwell's latest challenge as she joins the Curiosity Club. Assembling a memorial exhibition for pioneering mountain climber Alice Baker-Greene, Veronica uncovers evidence that suggests her friend's death was not an accident, but murder. With Europe on the brink of war, Princess Gisela of Alpenwald disappears under mysterious circumstances. Her chancellor begs Veronica to pose as the princess in order to maintain the peace treaty that brought her to England. Reluctantly agreeing to the scheme, Veronica must navigate unwelcome advances, assassination attempts, and her own complicated family history. As Veronica works with her beau Stoker to unravel the mystery of the missing princess, they find themselves entangled in a web of politics, deception, and danger. Can they keep the treaty intact while staying one step ahead of those who seek to destroy it?
