A Fatal Waltz

BOOK DESCRIPTION

At her friend Ivy’s behest, Lady Emily Ashton reluctantly agrees to attend a party at the sprawling English country estate of a man she finds odious. But the despised Lord Fortescue is not to be her greatest problem.

Kristiana von Lange, an Austrian countess once linked romantically with Emily’s fiancé Colin Hargreaves, is a guest also – and a tedious evening turns deadly when their host is found murdered, and his protégé, Ivy’s husband, is arrested for the crime.

Determined to right a terrible wrong, Emily embarks on a quest that will lead her from London’s glittering ballrooms to Vienna’s sordid backstreets – and into a game of wits with a notorious anarchist.
