When Queen Victoria suspects a chilling connection between brutal murders spanning continents and decades, she calls upon her estranged granddaughter—a determined Pinkerton agent who dared to forge her own path in America. Alice Anne must reunite with her former partner, now a brilliant attorney in Austin, to unravel a tangled web of crime stretching from London's fog-laden streets to the Texas frontier. As these two sharp-witted investigators circle closer to a dangerous truth, they'll discover that some cases test more than just your detective skills—they test your courage and your heart. This historical mystery pairs the thrill of a genuine crime puzzle with the electric tension of two people rediscovering what they meant to each other.
