PENNY FOR YOUR SECRETS IBD

Sinopse

England, 1919. In Anna Lee HuberâÇÖs latest mystery, former Secret Service agent Verity Kent is finding that life after wartime offers its own share of danger . . . á The Great War may be over, but for many, there are still obstacles on the home front. Reconciling with her estranged husband makes Verity sympathetic to her friend AdaâÇÖs marital difficulties. Bourgeois-bred Ada, recently married to the Marquess of Rockham, is overwhelmed trying to navigate the ways of the aristocracy. And when Lord Rockham is discovered shot through the heart with a bullet from AdaâÇÖs revolver, Verity fears her friend has made a fatal blunder. While striving to prove AdaâÇÖs innocence, Verity is called upon for another favor. The sister of a former Secret Service colleague has been killed in what authorities believe was a home invasion gone wrong. The victimâÇÖs war work-censoring letters sent by soldiers from the front-exposed her to sensitive, disturbing material. Verity begins to suspect these two unlikely cases may be linked. But as the connections deepen, the consequences-not just for Verity, but for Britain-grow more menacing than she could have imagined. á Praise for Anna Lee HuberâÇÖs Treacherous Is the Night á 'A thrilling mystery that supplies its gutsy heroine with plenty of angst-ridden romance.' -Kirkus Reviews á 'A splendid sequel. . . .
