 From the ashes of war rise the secrets of its darkest hearts. . . .In the wake of the Battle of Waterloo, Paris is a house divided. The triumphant Bourbons flaunt their victory with lavish parties, while Bonapartists seek revenge only to be captured and executed. Amid the turmoil, British attaché and intelligence agent Malcolm Rannoch and his wife, Suzanne, discover that his murdered half sister, Princess Tatiana Kirsanova, may have borne a child—a secret she took to the grave. And Malcolm suspects there was more than mere impropriety behind her silence. . . .As Malcolm and Suzanne begin searching for answers, they learn that the child was just one of many secrets Tatiana had been keeping. The princess was the toast of Paris when she arrived in the glamorous city, flirting her way into the arms of more than a few men—perhaps even those of Napoleon himself—and the father must be among them. But in the mêlée of the Napoleonic Wars, she was caught up in a deadly game of court intrigue, and now Malcolm and Suzanne must race against time to save his sister’s child from a similar fate. . . . |

I’m so excited, and can’t wait to see the next murder along with Dorothee and Wilhelimine again, I loved their characters! Will we see Frederick Radley again?

So glad you’re excited to read it, Rin! I loved writing about Doro and Willie again. Radley isn’t in The Paris Affair, though he is mentioned in His Spanish Bride. And I will probably have him appear in future books.
