What could be more valuable that the copy of King James own bible? Two rare bibles? What about the chance to find your one true love? Or is this all about two little pieces of paper; one a list of King James' traitors and the other a formulae for immortality. Who will find the secret chamber hidden for centuries under the ruins of Theobalds Palace?

Brought up more a boy than a girl, Lady Antonia (Tony) Stirling had been resisting the pressure to marry until she met Lord Caleb Delacourt. Now their love threatens the future plans for at least five people who are more than prepared to kill to get what they want.

Having been abducted for a second time, Lady Antonia (Tony) Stirling, her brother Lord Aidan and the now blind Lord Caleb Delacourt must fight to escape not just their abductor but also the hostile environment of a post Waterloo defeated France. With an immediate flight cut off they must travel to Paris in search for assistance to get safely home. Assuming a disguise, the trio find not only unexpected allies, but also that their enemies are closing in around them. The single dream of reaching English soil once more is superseded by the essential need to stay alive.

Finally making it home from their ordeal in France, Lady Antonia (Tony) Stirling, her brother Lord Aidan and Lord Caleb Delacourt still cannot relax their defences. Now, though, they have a wedding to look forward to as they contemplate their future life together. It is up to Abraham Bell, A Bow Street Runner to work out who, from his list of suspects, want to achieve their goals so badly that they are prepared to kill to get it. Can Bell solve the mystery before the killer or killers finally succeed?
