She was no stranger to the dead.

But the venerable scholar on Kristin Wallace's bed was recently dead - and Charles Belmain blamed her for the demise of the Belmain-family archivist. In England to conduct research, Kristin put her historical method to unexpected - and urgent - use.

The answer to her colleague's death was shrouded in Belmain history. And Kristin's only clue was a scrap of paper that hinted at an ancient scandal. But Kristin couldn't fail. She had to know whether there was more between her and the dark, enigmatic Charles than a set of extraordinary circumstances. And whether the late gentleman was a suicide statistic or a victim of murder.
