A FAMILY AFFAIR
The latest adventure of the spirited young Victorian investigator, LIBERTY
LANE, comes out in the USA in July 2010. In A Family Affair Liberty is hired to try to prevent a scandal in an aristocratic family. The Brinkburn brothers hate each other so bitterly that they fight in public.
Their mother is obsessed by the nightmare of something that happened to her on her honeymoon twenty three years ago. To make matters worse, the young Brinkburn men and their set are playing at being Medieval knights and practising for a tournament. The opportunities for fatal accidents are all around.
In the old stories, fair maidens got rescued by knights in shining armour. In Liberty's world, she's the one who has to do the rescuing.
A Family Affair is published by AVON.

A DANGEROUS AFFAIR
Liberty Lane is trying to make a new life for herself in London in 1838, a few months after the events of the previous book, A Foreign Affair.
Her hard-won stability is threatened by a high-profile murder case. A famous dancer, whose colorful past is more conspicuous than her talent, is poisoned in her dressing room.
Suspicion falls on the most naïve member of the chorus, and one of Liberty’s best friends becomes deeply involved. In spite of the emotional cost to herself, Liberty must follow trails leading to some of the highest and lowest in society to save the girl from the gallows.
A Dangerous Affair was published in the UK last year under the title Death of a Dancer.
