    In 1917, Alma Pihl, a master craftsman in the House of Fabergé, was charged to protect one of the greatest secrets in Russian history--an unknown Fabergé Egg that Peter Karl Fabergé secretly created to honor his divided allegiance to both the people of Russia and the Imperial tsar's family. When Alma and her husband escaped Russia for their native Finland in 1921, she took the secret with her, guarding her past connection to the Romanov family.  
 
Three generations later, world-renowned treasure hunter Nick Laine is sick and fears the secret of the missing egg will die with him. With time running out, he entrusts the mission of retrieving the egg to his estranged daughter, Ava, who has little idea of the dangers she is about to face. As the stakes are raised, Ava is forced to declare her own allegiance--and the consequences are greater than she could have imagined. 
 
This modern-day treasure hunt from award-winning author Kelli Stuart transports you into the opulent and treacherous world of the Russian Revolution to unearth mysteries long buried.

"Employing dual plot lines, Stuart weaves the fascinating history of the creation of Fabergé's Imperial Easter Eggs for the Romanov family together with a contemporary tale detailing the search for a (fictional) secret egg."--Booklist

A suspicious death. A hidden letter. A secret worth killing for. 
Their honeymoon abruptly ended by the untimely death of Alcott Howard, Clive and Henrietta rush back to Highbury. Though the police have ruled his father’s passing as accidental, Clive can’t shake the feeling that something is amiss. As he digs into the details of Alcott’s affairs, a troubling possibility emerges: his father may have been blackmailed. Despite his mother’s pleas to let the matter rest, Clive becomes determined to uncover the truth. 
Meanwhile, at Henrietta’s urging, her sister Elsie enrolls at a newly opened women’s college in an effort to put her romantic troubles behind her. At first, she finds peace in the quiet, convent-like environment and even begins to contemplate a religious vocation—until a bookish German custodian challenges her to think for herself. Their budding friendship takes a troubling turn, however, when Elsie uncovers disturbing secrets from his past… 
As long-buried truths come to light, Clive and Henrietta once again find themselves pitted against the infamous Neptune and his gang. What begins as a simple stake-out turns deadly when Clive vanishes. Can Henrietta piece the clues together in time—before it’s too late?
