Description

From New York Times bestselling writer Tasha Alexander, a stunning novel of historical suspense set in Victorian England, meticulously researched and with a twisty plot that involves stolen antiquities, betrayal, and murder

For Emily, accepting the proposal of Philip, the Viscount Ashton, was once an effective way to escape her overbearing mother, who was once set on a grand society match. So when Emily’s dashing husband died on safari soon after their wedding, she felt little grief. In spite of everything, she barely knew him. Now, nearly two years later, she discovers that Philip was once a far different man from the only she had married so cavalierly. His journals reveal him to have been a gentleman scholar and antiquities collector who, to her surprise, was once deeply in love with his wife. Emily becomes eager about this new image of her dead husband and immerses herself in all things ancient and begins to study Greek.

Emily’s intellectual pursuits and her desire to be told more about Philip take her to the quiet corridors of the British Museum, certainly one of her husband’s favorite places. There, amid priceless ancient statues, she uncovers a dark, dangerous secret involving stolen artifacts from the Greco-Roman galleries. To complicate matters, she’s juggling two prominent and rich suitors, certainly one of whose intentions may go beyond the marrying kind. As she sets out to solve the crime, her search ends up in more surprises about Philip and causes her to question the role in Victorian society to which she, as a woman, is relegated.
