Sinopse

All alone and penniless after the unexpected death of her much-loved father, the lovely but innocent Minella Clinton-Wood is desperate. But who can she turn to? Her Aunt Esther has made her reluctance clear, describing the idea of Minella living with her as ‘a burden’. But then she finds a letter to her father from her slightly older friend, Connie, the local Parson’s attractive daughter, thanking him for some mysterious kindness. “Someday perhaps I will be able to do something for you,” Connie has written to him. Maybe, Minella thinks, Connie can help her.Arriving in London, she discovers that her friend is one of the famous Gaiety Theatre’s exotic and flamboyant Gaiety Girls.And Connie immediately begs the demurely beautiful Minella to stand in for one of them who is ill at an exclusive party, which is given by the dashingly raffish and handsome Earl of Wynterborne at his sublimely impressive country home, Wyn Castle.Naively Minella agrees to the subterfuge – and soon finds herself dressed up to the nines in a decadent Social world beyond her experience as she has been brought up quietly in the country. Doubling the deception after the party is over, the Earl asks her to travel with him to Egypt, pretending to be the wife who had once betrayed and left him for another man. So Minella embarks on a voyage of discovery, deception and perhaps love.

    This adventurous story of a woman in peril begins "It was all new - most of it singularly dramatic and even appalling to the woman who sat with the pearl-gray veil drawn closely about her face. For eighteen hours she had been a keenly attentive, wide-eyed, and partly frightened bit of humanity in this onrush of "the horde." She had heard a voice behind her speak of it as "the horde" - a deep, thick, gruff voice which she knew without looking had filtered its way through a beard." - Introduction from the book

    Violet Hunter consults Holmes after being offered a governess job subject to a number of unusual conditions, including cutting her hair short. The wage is extremely high, £120, and she decides to accept the job, though Holmes tells her to contact him if she needs to. After a number of strange occurrences, including the discovery of a sealed-off wing of the house, she does so. Holmes discovers that someone had been kept prisoner in the wing, but when Holmes, Watson and Hunter enter, it is empty. They are accused of freeing the prisoner, who was the daughter of Hunter's employer, who sets his dog on them, though it attacks him instead. It is revealed that Hunter had been hired to impersonate her employer's daughter so that her fiancé would believe she was no longer interested in seeing him, but the daughter had escaped and the pair later married.

     A hostage situation threatens to ignite a global crisis.
     
     A brutal raid in Africa takes an American hostage—Doctor Samantha Fremont—turning a regional strike into an international emergency.
     
    Because this captive isn’t just any American—she’s the daughter of a powerful senator. And the United States has one narrow advantage: her captors don’t know who they’ve taken… yet.
     
    Fremont finds herself at the center of a criminal alliance between Mexican cartels and extremists in Africa’s Sahel region. The trans-Atlantic syndicate keeps the drug pipeline to Europe flowing and reaps billions in profits. 
     
    Harrison Kohl, Director of the CIA’s Special Activities Center, is given an urgent directive from the President: find Fremont before her captors discover her true identity.
     
    But Kohl faces an enemy with deadly capabilities on both sides of the Atlantic. Armed with cutting-edge weapons, cloaked by advanced operational security, and backed by billions in illicit funding, the syndicate is more than a threat—it’s a revolution in organized violence.
     
    As conventional methods fail, Kohl chooses to activate a disavowed asset and launch an off-the-books operation to rescue the doctor and destroy the syndicate—before it’s too late.
     
    From David Bruns and J. R. Olson, the authors of Command and Control, will devour this pulse-pounding thriller in the tradition of Tom Clancy and Vince Flynn, where covert operations and great-power rivalry collide.
