In the final Pink Carnation novel from the New York Times
bestselling author of The Mark of the Midnight Manzanilla, Napoleon
has occupied Lisbon, and Jane Wooliston, aka the Pink Carnation, teams
up with a rogue agent to protect the escaped Queen of Portugal.
Portugal, December 1807. Jack Reid, the British agent known as the
Moonflower (formerly the French agent known as the Moonflower), has been
stationed in Portugal and is awaiting his new contact. He does not
expect to be paired with a woman--especially not the legendary Pink
Carnation.
All of Portugal believes that the royal family departed for Brazil just
before the French troops marched into Lisbon. Only the English
government knows that mad seventy-three-year-old Queen Maria was
spirited away by a group of loyalists determined to rally a resistance.
But as the French garrison scours the countryside, it's only a matter of
time before she's found and taken.
It's up to Jane to find her first and ensure her safety. But she has no
knowledge of Portugal or the language. Though she is loath to admit it,
she needs the Moonflower. Operating alone has taught her to respect her
own limitations. But she knows better than to show weakness around the
Moonflower--an agent with a reputation for brilliance, a tendency toward
insubordination, and a history of going rogue.
