En savoir plus sur le livre
From Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, comes a sweeping, romantic historical saga about a Duke's daughter who secretly moonlights as an amateur sleuth in Victorian London. In a society where wealthy victims of gentleman burglars and art thieves dare not approach the police, they require a discreet insider to investigate their troubles. Lady Mary Montagu Douglas Scott, the youngest child of Queen Victoria's close friends, fits this role perfectly. Bookish and fiercely intelligent, Mary has cultivated a mousey persona that allows her to remain overlooked, making her an ideal sleuth. Her journey begins when she assists a close friend during a house party at her family's stately Scottish home, Drumlanrig Castle. At this gathering, Mary encounters Colonel Walter Trefusis, a handsome war veteran haunted by his past. Like Mary, Walter leads a double life, with a desk job in Whitehall concealing his work in British Intelligence. Together, they form an unlikely alliance to tackle a series of audacious crimes while navigating a tumultuous on-off romance. This pacy and fun tale captures one remarkable woman's ability to embody the perfect lady and a talented detective, all while discovering love along the way.
