In this fourth instalment of An Elizabeth Grant Mystery, Grant & Lefebvre, Private Investigators, have a new case. In 1935, private investigator Frank Lefebvre goes undercover to expose Hermione Cumberland, a shrewd businesswoman entangled in a Ponzi scheme and smuggling stolen jewellery from Montreal's organized crime syndicates. But when the plan to trap her backfires, Frank finds himself framed, with all the evidence pointing to him.
As her trusted partner faces arrest, Elizabeth Grant must unravel Hermione's web of lies before it's too late. With the help of Peter Darvis, Elizabeth follows a trail to a mysterious farmhouse hiding deadly secrets. Racing against the clock, she must prove Frank's innocence and outwit a cunning adversary who always seems one step ahead. Is this foe's deceit really virtuous?
In a world where trust is elusive and nothing is as it seems, Elizabeth Grant must uncover the truth—no matter the cost.
