Synopsis

The gentleman thief known as Colonel Clay cons the same South African Millionaire, Sir Charles Vandrift again and again in a series of clever short stories. It is immensely satisfying to read how the pompous Vandrift and his equally demanding wife are tricked out of their money through their own greed, vanity and suspicion. Clay is a master of disguise and with his female partner, Madame Picardet, they follow the Vandrifts across Europe and America selling them their own diamonds or a stranger's castle.

    A daring rescue, a secret love, and a conspiracy that threatens them all . . . 
    The masquerade ball should have been an evening of harmless intrigue. Instead, on the dark roads of Hounslow Heath, highwaymen attack Miss Leah Crauford's carriage. Leah escapes, but her dearest friend, Miss Susanna Talbot, is not so fortunate. 
    Refusing to abandon Susanna to an unknown fate, Leah partners with Sir William Talbot, Susanna's brother, to hunt for her missing friend. With guidance from Mr. Harcourt and Miss Beaumont—who are pursuing a dangerous investigation of their own—Leah and William follow a trail of cryptic clues through Regency London's glittering ballrooms and shadowed countryside. But the deeper they dig, the more troubling questions emerge. Why were they targeted? Who among London society cannot be trusted? And why does every lead circle back to the same chilling truth—someone planned this. Someone who knows them. Someone who may be watching still. 
    As the investigation draws Leah and William closer together, Leah faces an impossible conflict: her heart belongs to William, but her hand has been promised to another man. And the closer they get to finding Susanna, the clearer it becomes that the danger surrounding them is far more personal—and deadly—than they ever imagined. 
    With time running out and enemies closing in, Leah must decide what she's willing to risk—for friendship, for love, and for the truth.

    As Helen's involvement with the cause deepens, she encounters myriad sources of tension that test her perseverance: estrangement from her husband, who is blindsided by his wife's sudden activism; ostracization by neighbors; unease at working side by side with wealthier suffragettes; and worry about her children as she leaves them to picket the White House in Washington. 
     
     
     
    The narrative spans World War One and concludes with the triumph of 1919. In a time when the obstacles for women, from any background, were insurmountable, Helen discovers her voice as an independent woman and dreams of equality in a male-dominated society.
