The
latest mystery from the national bestselling author of A Study in Death tangles Lady Kiera Darby and Sebastian Gage in a dangerous
web of religious and political intrigue.
July 1831. In the midst of
their idyllic honeymoon in England’s Lake District, Kiera and Gage’s seclusion
is soon interrupted by a missive from her new father-in-law. A deadly incident
involving a distant relative of the Duke of Wellington has taken place at an
abbey south of Dublin, Ireland, and he insists that Kiera and Gage look into
the matter. Intent on discovering what kind of monster could murder a woman of
the cloth, the couple travel to Rathfarnham Abbey school. Soon a second nun is
slain in broad daylight near a classroom full of young girls. With the sinful
killer growing bolder, the mother superior would like to send the students
home, but the growing civil unrest in Ireland would make the journey treacherous.
Before long, Kiera starts to suspect that some of the girls may be hiding a
sinister secret. With the killer poised to strike yet again, Kiera and Gage
must make haste and unmask the fiend, before their matrimonial bliss comes to
an untimely end...
