Stolen jewels, top secret identities, and death abound within this gleaming story of suspense set in Victorian Britain, from New York Instances bestselling author Tasha Alexander.

London’s social season is in full swing, and Victorian aristocracy can’t stop whispering about a certain gentleman who promises to be the direct descendant of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. But he’s not the just topic of wagging tongues. Sketching rooms, boudoirs, and ballrooms are abuzz with the latest news of an audacious kitty burglar who has been systematically stealing precious items which once belonged to the ill-fated queen.

Light gossip converts serious when who owns one of the pilfered treasures is found murdered, and the mysterious thief develops a twisted obsession with Female Emily Ashton. It will require all of Female Emily’s wit and determination to unmask her stalker and ferret out the murderer, while faced with a brewing scandal that threatens both her reputation and her romance with her past due husband’s best friend, the dashing Colin Hargreaves.
