About this ebook

'A rip-roaring, helter-skelter adventure careening breathlessly through Regency society... An uproarious delight ' Historical Novel Society

1812 London

Up-and-coming novelist Jane Austen joins forces with London's most esteemed investigative duo – actress Dora Fitz-Pennington and Dr Jacob Sandys – to solve the brutal murder of a French count and his opera singer wife. The killer took his own life immediately after the crime – but who sent him and why?

As they find themselves swept up in the shadowy world of international espionage, can Dora and Jacob uncover the truth without jeopardising national security, and with their betrothal still intact? And will their unique love story end up in the pages of one of Austen’s novels?
