  “Pure unadulterated fun” (Publishers Weekly) for fans of Ashley Weaver,  
  Deanna Raybourn, and Tasha Alexander, the Agatha Award–winning Countess  
  of Harleigh Mysteries are a witty romp through the high society of Victorian  
  England with a touch of romance, an independent female lead, and rich  
  historical detail. In this charming historical mystery, Frances Wynn, the  
  American-born Countess of Harleigh, finds her wedding day overshadowed by  
  murder … 
  On the eve of her marriage to George Hazelton, Frances has a great deal more on  
  her mind than flowers and seating arrangements. The Connors and the  
  Bainbridges, two families of American robber barons, have taken up residence in  
  London, and their bitter rivalry is spilling over into the highest social circles. At the  
  request of her brother, Alonzo, who is quite taken with Miss Madeline Connor,  
  Frances has invited the Connor family to her wedding. Meanwhile, Frances’s  
  mother has invited Mr. Bainbridge, and Frances fears the nuptials may end up  
  being newspaper-worthy for all the wrong reasons. 
  On the day itself, Frances is relieved that Madeline’s father is not among the  
  guests at the church. The reason, however, is most unfortunate: Mr. Connor is  
  found murdered in his home. More shocking still, Alonzo is caught at the scene— 
  holding the murder weapon. 
  Powerful and ruthless, Connor appears to have amassed a wealth of enemies.  
  Frances and George put their wedding trip on hold to try and clear Alonzo’s name.  
  But there are secrets to sift through, not just in the feuding families, but also in  
  their own. With a killer determined to evade discovery—even if it means taking  
  another life—Frances’s newlywed days will be perilous indeed …

  It's summer of 1899 and the state of Wyoming has been unresponsive for an increasingly alarming amount of time. No mail nor telegram communication has ever been sent out or responsive, which has prompted the United States Postal Inspection Service to investigate. The inspector general has selected US Postal Inspector Jed Pluck from Boston, Massachusetts to team up with another postal inspector named Louie Secoli to investigate these towns along the railroad. The peculiarity of this case, in contrast to others they had investigated previously, is that the only evidence they have is a strange, large black-red feather, sharp enough to slice through skin. 
  Leaving his family once again, Jed hitches the train with Louie, and they set off for Wyoming. Upon arriving in Cheyenne, they found Wyoming's capital deserted—and covered in the very same peculiar feathers. The next few towns along the railroad all share the same description: no bodies in sight and covered in the same feathers. 
  Only one town along the railway has been spared from the disappearances. Lemonstown, a town near the Red Desert, remains active but unaware of the fate of the other towns. Fearing that Lemonstown would be the next town to be raided, the two postal inspectors must solve the mystery of the strange creature and help the townspeople before Lemonstown becomes the next ghost town covered in feathers
