The murder of a shipping clerk .
. . the strange disappearance of trusted friends . . . rumors of corruption
within the powerful East India Company . . . all add up to a dark mystery
entangling Lady Charlotte Sloane and the Earl of Wrexford in a dangerous web of
secrets and lies that will call into question how much they really know about
the people they hold dear—and about each other . . .
When Lady Cordelia, a brilliant mathematician, and her
brother, Lord Woodbridge, disappear from London, rumors swirl concerning
fraudulent bank loans and a secret consortium engaged in an illicit—and highly
profitable—trading scheme that threatens the entire British economy. The
incriminating evidence mounts, but for Charlotte and Wrexford, it’s a question
of loyalty and friendship. And so they begin a new investigation to clear the
siblings’ names, uncover their whereabouts, and unravel the truth behind the
whispers.
As they delve into the murky world of banking and
international arbitrage, Charlotte and Wrexford also struggle to navigate their
increasingly complex feelings for each other. But the clock is ticking—a cunning
mastermind has emerged . . . along with some unexpected allies—and Charlotte
and Wrexford must race to prevent disasters both economic and personal as they
are forced into a dangerous match of wits in an attempt to beat the enemy at
his own game.
