Abstract:
Another whodunnit in the series of Lady Tremayne diaries. _x000D__x000D_The year is 1654. _x000D__x000D_When an anonymous young woman is found hanged from a tree, Lady Jane Tremayne believes she's been murdered and is determined to investigate the crime. The trail she follows proves to be a perilous one, leading to her being kidnapped and taken abroad, where she expects to be sold as a slave to Corsairs. Avoiding this fate, she returns to England only to find that the man she has married in secret faces a charge of treason and that fresh dangers await not only her but also her best friend, Olivia Courtney. Saving Olivia and her husband becomes a race against time in this fast-paced and adventurous whodunnit.
