Description

Duelling, derring-do, and dastardly deeds are all in a days work for Liberty Lane, a new heroine for fans of Georgette Heyer and Sarah Waterss Victorian novels.
The Augustus theatre likes to put on a good show. But when a public spat erupts between two dancers on the London stage, it comes to a dramatic conclusion that definitely wasnt part of the script: one dead, the other arrested for murder. As far as the jurys concerned, its an open-and-shut case, but Liberty Lane believes otherwise.

Soon shes leading her own investigation, in a desperate race against the hangmans noose. And while the criminal underworld may be no place for a lady, theres no place for a criminal to hide once Libertys on the case
