When Veronica Speedwell started looking into a man who claimed to be the lost heir to a noble family, she had no idea she would be in for the surprise of her life. This thrilling new adventure comes from the talented author Deanna Raybourn, known for her bestsellers and Edgar Award nominations.
The story takes us to London in the year 1889, where Veronica and her partner, Stoker, receive a summons from Sir Hugo Montgomerie, the head of Special Branch. Sir Hugo has a personal favor to ask on behalf of his goddaughter, Euphemia Hathaway. Euphemia's elder brother, Jonathan, who was believed to have died in the eruption of Krakatoa, has mysteriously reappeared at Hathaway Hall with amnesia. Is this man truly Jonathan Hathaway, or is he an imposter with sinister intentions?
Veronica and Stoker agree to investigate the enigmatic stranger at Hathaway Hall, leading Veronica to confront a ghost from her own past. As they dig deeper into the mystery, Veronica must confront her own secrets and face the truth about her past. Sir Hugo relies on Veronica to uncover the real identity of the amnesiac and solve the mystery surrounding the legendary Rajasthani jewels.
