With the aid of her sisters, Emily and Anne, and of the suspiciously well-informed but irresistibly attractive brother of the victim, Charlotte works to unravel a deadly web of intrigue that threatens not only her own safety but the very fabric of the British Empire. But when she unintentionally witnesses a murder, Charlotte finds herself embroiled in a dangerous chain of events. Upon learning that she has been falsely accused of breaching her publishing contract, the normally mild-mannered Charlotte sets off for London to clear her name. Or did she? What if a diary was uncovered that revealed her secret involvement in one of the most thrilling adventures of the 19th century? Charlotte Brontë, the beloved author of Jane Eyre, lived a quiet and private life in her father’s Yorkshire parish.
