Something is stalking the queen of England, and Irene Adler is ready to find whatever monster may lurk behind this new gruesome string of murders-with or without the help of Sherlock Holmes.
Irene Adler and Sherlock Holmes were both sent away from Oxford's All Souls class after uncovering a murderous plot on campus. But now Irene's deductive skills have called her back to England. Someone is killing off the queen's closest allies and leaving mysterious messages at every crime scene.
The people of London are frightened-and growing angry. Could the murders be Queen Victoria's fault, or is she the one in the most danger? With Sherlock's help once more, Irene will follow leads that bring her deep into the secrets held by England's richest families. The spark between the pair ignites and burns ever hotter all the while.
But the closer Irene gets to finding the killer's identity, it becomes clear that it's not a truth she wants to face. To prove herself an Adler, not a Moriarty, Irene will need to overcome the worst betrayal of her life. Can she endure true heartbreak if it's for the greater good?
Claire M. Andrews pens a riveting sequel to A Beautiful and Terrible Murder that will keep every mystery fan guessing until the end.
