The Truths That Tether

Does the truth really set you free? A missing serving girl. A swindled nobleman. An Irish mobster. London 1811. When her stepcousin Alexander Dovefield, the future Baron of Newark, asks for her help to find a missing serving girl from his favorite gambling hell, Lady Zoe Demas once again enlists inquiry agent Quinton Huxley to piece together the puzzle of who is cheating whom. What at first seems like a simple swindle takes a sinister and murky turn when bodies start to pile up. As they attempt to solve the mystery, Quinton also struggles with revelations about his own past . . . and what they could mean for his future-and his increasingly undeniable feelings for the fiery and intelligent Lady Demas. As the investigation proceeds, difficult choices must be made. The thin line between victim and villain begins to blur. When the stakes are raised-both personally and professionally-the whole gang of found family must work together to confront the truth and unmask a killer. The third installment of the Q and Z Regency Mysteries, The Truths that Tether is a compelling page-turner that explores how truths hidden and revealed can change-or end-a life.
