Sinopsis
I had no idea that anyone was carrying on the same dirty little tricks after all this time. Now I do. But if I dont move faster, theyll get me, before I can get them. How can a long dead traitor destroy the man who uncovered his crimes? London Summer 1912. Busy with the pressures of work and new motherhood, Margaret Demeray wonders if she will ever be free to help Fox again. When she hears of an unlikely spy plot, she expects Fox to be incredulous, but something reminds him of a case from 1902, and he decides to investigate. Just as they decide the allegation is nonsense, a young woman is found dead and evidence at the scene links Fox to her murder. If he has any hope of avoiding arrest, he and Margaret must work out the links to that earlier investigation, when a traitor in the Boer War drowned on Foxs watch. Is there someone now seeking revenge? Or is someone using knowledge of it to cover up the selling of military secrets? With London crippled by a series of strikes, Margaret and Fox struggle to try discover the truth, but as the net closes in on Fox, Margaret finds herself fighting not just for her familys safety but for his reputation and ultimately his life. Exactly how far is Margaret prepared to go to protect him?..M.F

Reseñas Varias sobre este libro
I found this to be a gripping read. The more I read of this series, the more I get involved with the Iives of the characters. Dr. Margaret Demeray doesnt conform to the excepted behaviour of women of the day. This seems to have drawn Fox, initially, to her. Foxs occupation was also a mystery at first and it leads him into many dangerous situations. I d that apart from the mystery we also have their domestic scene, the worries about the children and the guilt of being a working mother, as well as finding time for themselves. The murder mystery is quite complex and dangerous, the tension was palpable at times. There is also the political situation and what life was for the working class. Finding the perpetrator kept me guessing until the end. This could be read as a stand-alone but I think you would get more from it by reading the other two books in the series. Im looking forward to reading the next in the series. I received a copy via Booksprout and have voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 1 Elodies Reading Corner2,527 133
