Inhalt

<b>Karen OddenâEUR¿s enthralling debut historical mystery transports readers to Victorian England, where a terrifying railway disaster plunges a headstrong young noblewoman into a conspiracy that reaches to the highest corridors of power.</b><br>&nbsp;<br>After a humiliating fourth Season in London, Lady Elizabeth Fraser is on her way back to her ancestral country estate when her train careens off the rails and bursts into flames. Though she is injured, she manages to drag herself and her unconscious mother out of the wreckage, and amid the chaos that follows, a brilliant young railway surgeon saves her motherâEUR¿s life. Elizabeth feels an immediate connection with Paul WilcoxâEUR"though society would never deem a medical man eligible for the daughter of a viscount.<br>&nbsp;<br>After Paul reveals that the train wreck was no accident, and the inspector who tried to prevent it dies under mysterious circumstances, Elizabeth undertakes a dangerous investigation of her own that leads back to her familyâEUR¿s buried secrets. The more she learns, the more she must risk. Not only are her dowry and her reputation at stake; PaulâEUR¿s very life hangs in the balance when he is arrested for manslaughter. As the trial draws near, and Parliament prepares for a vote that will change the course of the nation, Elizabeth uncovers a conspiracy that has been years in the making. But time is running out for her to see justice done.
