Publisher Description

Return to a world of Victorian mystery and magic in the fan-favorite Lady Julia Grey historical series from New York Times bestselling author of Killers of a Certain Age, Deanna Raybourn.

Lady Julia Grey and her husband, detective Nicholas Brisbane, are ready to put their investigative talents to work again. At the urging of Julia's eccentric family, they hurry to India to aid an old friend, the newly widowed Jane Cavendish.

Living on a tea plantation with the remnants of her husband's family, Jane Cavendish is consumed with the impending birth of her child—and with discovering the truth about her husband's death. Was he murdered for his estate? And if he was, could Jane and her unborn child be next?

Amid the lush foothills of the Himalayas, dark deeds are buried and malicious thoughts flourish. The Brisbanes uncover secrets and scandal, illicit affairs and twisted legacies. The danger is palpable and, if they are not careful, Julia and Nicholas will not live to celebrate their first anniversary.
