BOOK #1
Although her marriage to George Waddley had been passionless, the widow Cecilia Haukstrom Waddley vows to unmask the man responsible for her husband's murder. Suspecting the culprit travels in society circles, she feigns near constant illness so that she can eavesdrop and pry at parties. Sir James Branstoke sees through Cecilia's supposed fragility. Intrigued by her odd behavior, he believes she has secrets-secrets that could lead to her demise. So, the hunter follows the huntress through society. Neither Sir James nor Cecilia imagine that her quest will lead them to an international crime ring and its elusive ringleader, or that Cecilia's insistence on discovering the truth marks her as their next victim.
