The latest book in the exciting series featuring woman-on-the-run
Elizabeth Miles--from the beloved national bestselling author of the
Gaslight Mysteries.
Elizabeth Miles knows that honesty is not always the best policy when it
comes to finding justice.
Elizabeth has discovered that navigating the rules of high society is
the biggest con of all. So far, her only success is Priscilla Knight, a
dedicated young suffragist recently widowed for the second time. Her
beloved first husband died in a tragic accident and left her with two
young daughters--and a sizable fortune. While she was lost in grief,
Priscilla's pastor convinced her she needed a man to look after her and
engineered a whirlwind courtship and hasty marriage to fellow
parishioner Endicott Knight. Now, about nine months later, Endicott is
dead in what appears to be another terrible accident.
Priscilla had believed Endicott was wealthy, too, but her banker tells
her she has no money left and her house has been mortgaged. He also
hints at a terrible scandal and refuses to help. Priscilla stands to
lose everything, and Elizabeth is determined not to let that happen. She
soon discovers that Endicott's death was anything but accidental, and
revealing the truth could threaten much more than Priscilla's finances.
To save her new friend's future--and possibly her own--Elizabeth, along
with her honest-to-a-fault beau, Gideon, delve into the sinister secrets
someone would kill to keep.
