Beschreibung

The Emperor's Candlesticks is a tale of espionage, political intrigue, and unexpected romance, set in 19th-century Europe. When a pair of exquisitely crafted candlesticks become the secret hiding place for dangerous documents, they pass from hand to hand across borders, drawing together diplomats, spies, and aristocrats in a deadly game of deception. At the center are two rival couriers — an English nobleman and a beautiful Russian woman — whose mission and loyalties are tested as fate binds them to the same perilous object. Blending romance, suspense, and high adventure, Baroness Orczy crafts a story that is at once cosmopolitan and thrilling, showcasing her early flair for plots of disguise, danger, and tangled passions.

    When Mercy Mulcahy was 40 years old, she was accused of killing her elderly and tyrannical father. Now, at the end of her life, she has written a book about what really happened on that fateful night of Christmas Eve, 1989. 
    The tragic and beautiful Mercy has devoted her life to protecting Star from her father, Star's grandfather. His behavior so blighted her own life – she never wanted it to touch her darling daughter. 
    Yet Star won't even read the manuscript. Star's contempt for Mercy is as painful as it is inexplicable. 
    Why? What has Mercy done? What is she hiding? Was her father's death, as many believe, an assisted suicide? 
    Or something even more sinister? 
    In this book, nothing is what it seems on the surface, and everywhere there are emotional twists and surprises. 
    Set in Ireland and California, Blue Mercy is a compelling novel, combing lyrical description with a page-turning style. It is an enthralling tale of love, loss, and the ever-present possibility of redemption.

    Lieutenant Gilbert Maltravers is bored. It is 1912 and he has been promoted as fast as any in his Dartmouth class and is placed in a battleship where he can confidently look forward to promotion to post captain and a battleship of his own by the time he is forty. All he needs to do is keep a smart ship, polish the brass and salute every senior officer, while wearing an expensive uniform that testifies he is one of the right sort. His father is an admiral, so very little can go wrong. 
     
     
     
    He wants more than tedium from his existence, and the new submarine service will provide excitement . . . but possibly a far shorter life. If he is successful, then submarines will provide earlier promotion and a new challenge every day. Failure in the submarine service will mean the end of his career. 
     
     
     
    Against the protests of his father and the head-shaking of his friends, Gilbert goes off to join the deplorably new and ungentlemanly assassins of the sea, the enemies of all the old Navy stands for.
