From the national bestselling author of A Brush with Shadows comes a
riveting historical mystery featuring a most "unusual and romantic"*
female sleuth--Lady Kiera Darby.
Scotland, 1831. Lady Kiera Darby is thrilled to have found both an
investigative partner and a fiancé in Sebastian Gage. But with her
well-meaning sister planning on making their wedding the event of the
season, Kiera could use a respite from the impending madness.
After she's commissioned to paint the portrait of Lady Drummond, Kiera
is shocked to find her client prostrate on the floor. Both a physician
and Lord Drummond appear satisfied to rule her death natural, but Kiera
is convinced that poison is the real culprit.
Now, armed only with her knowledge of the macabre and her convictions,
Kiera intends to discover the truth--no matter what, or who, stands in
her way...
