In this new adventure from New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-nominated author Deanna Raybourn, Veronica Speedwell receives the surprise of her life while researching a guy claiming to be the long-lost heir of a royal family.
1889 saw London. Head of Special Branch Sir Hugo Montgomerie calls Veronica Speedwell and her natural historian beau Stoker. On behalf of Euphemia Hathaway, his goddaughter, he has a private request. Her oldest brother, Jonathan, the heir to Hathaway Hall, was thought to have perished in the devastating Krakatoa explosion a few years prior, after years of globetrotting.
However, a man who fits Jonathan's description and is bearing his belongings has suddenly shown up at Hathaway Hall; he has no knowledge of who he is or where he has been. Is this man really Jonathan reappearing from the dead? Or is he a cunning fake who is out to seize control of the family's most precious asset—a fabled collection of exquisite Rajasthani jewels—and turn them into his own? Sir Hugo's sole hope is Veronica, and things are delicate.
Stoker and Veronica decide to sneak over to Hathaway Hall in order to look into the strange amnesiac. Before long, Veronica is taken aback to see a ghost from her past. She must unlock doors to her own past that she had long thought were permanently closed in order to assist Sir Hugo in learning the truth.
