Evil is masquerading in the halls of Parliament, and Sir Bertrand Thorndike is tasked with investigating from the inside. With his new position as a member of the House of Commons, he has access to the power brokers of English government. His tactic is to listen and learn, careful not to reveal his true motives, and he's quickly inducted into the mysterious Theban Club.

Miss Philippa Cashel's mission, the Princess Charlotte Eleos School for Women in Need, is thriving with donations, and the students are learning skills to help them earn their livings in honorable ways. But when a dear friend's past is revealed by blackmail, Philippa must wrestle with the question, Is it ever right to do the wrong thing?

Bertie's and Philippa's missions collide when Bertie uncovers a dangerous plot involving vulnerable women. He and Philippa join forces against the corruption threatening to topple England's government, all while navigating their outward reputations and inward feelings for each other.

My Thoughts

Erica Vetsch books are always "must read" books for me. I found this book to be well written. It was also easy to read and flowed well for me. I enjoyed being able to read the next book in the Of Cloaks and Daggers series. It was intriguing reading and trying to figure out what was going on and solving who is behind the plot. I look forward to reading the next book in this series as well as other books by Erica Vetsch.
