Basking in the success of their last case, Lady Cecilia and Sir James Branstoke have spent the last six months concentrating on renovating their estate in Kent. But with most of the work done, and winter approaching, Lady Cecilia is restless. She doesn't want to hibernate like a bear all winter, but her husband cautions her to be careful what she wishes for. When David Thornbridge sends word to them that someone has kidnapped a child from The East India Company dock, Cecilia and James immediately return to London to investigate. To their horror, they learn the child is the nephew of their friend, the Earl of Soothcoor. But Soothcoor is in Northumberland. It will take days for the news to reach him. The Branstokes race to search London for the child. Their investigation leads them from warehouses to society events, and to the rooftops and chimneys of London. But soon they discover that kidnapping the child was only a small part of a monstrous plan to hold the power of life and death in one man's hands-for a profit.

Autorenporträt
Holly Newman is a pseudonym for Holly Thompson. She lives in Florida seven miles from the Gulf Coast with Ken and their six cats. Holly decided to be a writer when she was in the fifth grade and filled notebooks with stories-until a mean-spirited high school teacher told her she had no talent for writing. Crushed, for several years she stopped writing, but the writing bug didn't go away. Her first book won first place in the University of Texas at Dallas fiction writing competition and was first runner-up for the Rita award from Romance Writers of America.
