Descripción editorial
The thrilling finale to the highly rated Regency romance series
<p>Sir Bertrand Thorndike is on another mission-this one in the scientific community. But when a simple game of espionage becomes a murder investigation and Bertie's friend Rhynwick Davies is the accused, Bertie enlists the help of his pseudo-fiancée Philippa Cashel to spare Rhynwick from the gallows.</p>
<p>Together, they delve into poisons, passions, and peril. With the true killer still on the loose, Bertie must balance proving Rhynwick's innocence with his plans to persuade Philippa to make their false engagement real.</p>
<p>The final installment in the Of Cloaks & Daggers series from a New York Times best-selling author will be the biggest test yet of Bertie and Philippa's skill and bravery-and of their love.</p>
<p>"Deliciously twisty and delightfully romantic, An Accusing at the Old Bailey is everything readers adore about an Erica Vetsch novel. Vibrant historical details create an atmosphere worthy of a BBC drama as Bertie and Philippa take on their most daring case yet."</p>
<p>—Amanda Barratt, Christy Award–winning author of The Warsaw Sisters</p>
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Vetsch (A Scheming in Parliament) wraps up the Of Cloaks and Daggers series with another thrilling Regency-era mystery. Investigator Bertrand Thorndike is once again on the case, this time hosting a symposium to puzzle out who's been stealing munitions plans from London's scientific elite. When a scientist drops dead from being poisoned and one of Bertie's colleagues is named the primary suspect, he works to clear his friend's name, launching an investigation that turns up other suspects along with plenty of other misdeeds. There's also the matter of Bertie's sham engagement to Philippa Cashel, a ruse originally orchestrated to protect her inheritance from a scheming cousin. But the engagement becomes more real as their families start making wedding plans, and when both Bertie and Philippa feel a spark, they turn to God to figure out whether true love can be born from a lie. Crackling chemistry between the leads and no shortage of tense plotlines and scenes (suspects held at gunpoint, bombs being defused, several affairs) will keep readers on the edge of their seats. It's a winner.
