Synopsis

The latest mystery from the national bestselling
author of A Study in Death tangles Lady Kiera
Darby and Sebastian Gage in a dangerous
web of religious and political intrigue.

July 1831. In the midst of their idyllic honeymoon
in England’s Lake District, Kiera and Gage’s seclusion
is soon interrupted by a missive from her new
father-in-law. A deadly incident involving a distant
relative of the Duke of Wellington has taken place at
an abbey south of Dublin, Ireland, and he insists
that Kiera and Gage look into the matter.

Intent on discovering what kind of monster could
murder a woman of the cloth, the couple travel to
Rathfarnham Abbey school. Soon a second nun is
slain in broad daylight near a classroom full of
young girls. With the sinful killer growing bolder,
the mother superior would like to send the students
home, but the growing civil unrest in Ireland
would make the journey treacherous.

Before long, Kiera starts to suspect that some of the
girls may be hiding a sinister secret. With the killer
poised to strike yet again, Kiera and Gage must
make haste and unmask the fiend, before their
matrimonial bliss comes to an untimely end…
