The Great War is over, but in this captivating new mystery from
award-winning author Anna Lee Huber, one young widow discovers the real
intrigue has only just begun . . .
England, 1919. Verity Kent's grief over the loss of her husband
pierces anew when she receives a cryptic letter, suggesting her beloved
Sidney may have committed treason before his untimely death. Determined
to dull her pain with revelry, Verity's first impulse is to dismiss the
derogatory claim. But the mystery sender knows too much--including the
fact that during the war, Verity worked for the Secret Service,
something not even Sidney knew.
Lured to Umbersea Island to attend the engagement party of one of
Sidney's fellow officers, Verity mingles among the men her husband once
fought beside, and discovers dark secrets--along with a murder clearly
meant to conceal them. Relying on little more than a coded letter, the
help of a dashing stranger, and her own sharp instincts, Verity is
forced down a path she never imagined--and comes face to face with the
shattering possibility that her husband may not have been the man she
thought he was. It's a truth that could set her free--or draw her ever
deeper into his deception . . .
