But when he starts digging into her past, he finds it's more than a little bit shady... _____________________________ ‘A fabulous, witty writer’ Stephen Fry ‘Georgette Heyer is second to none’ Sunday Times ‘A writer of great style’ The Telegraph ‘Heyer’s characters and dialogue are a delight’ Dorothy L. Sayers
