The Lusitania has missed the tide at Liverpool, and an American named Hamilton Fynes is in desperate haste to get ashore. Soon a series of mysterious deaths shakes London, and suspicion gathers around the charming and inscrutable Prince Maiyo of Japan, while Penelope Morse and the men around her are drawn into an affair of state.
Polished intrigue from the prince of storytellers, with racial attitudes that are very much those of 1910. Download the free EPUB.
