Book Description
================
Readers of Anne Perry's bestselling suspense novels revel in a world 
that is all their own, sharing the privileged existence of Britain's 
wealthy and powerful elite in West End mansions and great country houses. 
It is also a world in which danger bides in unsuspected places and the 
line between good and evil can be razor thin. This new novel features 
Lady Vespasia Cumming-Gould-one of the most memorable characters from 
the Thomas Pitt series-who appears here as a lively young woman, the 
ultimate aristocrat who can trace her blood to half the royal houses 
of Europe.

It's Christmas and the Berkshire countryside lies wrapped in winter 
chill. But the well-born guests who have gathered at Applecross for 
a delicious weekend of innocent intrigue and passionate romance are 
warmed by roaring fires and candlelight, holly and mistletoe, good wine 
and gorgeously wrapped gifts. It's scarcely the setting for misfortune, 
and no one-not even that clever young aristocrat and budding sleuth 
Vespasia Cumming-Gould-anticipates the tragedy that is to darken this 
light-hearted holiday house party. But soon one young woman lies dead, 
a suicide, and another is ostracized, held partly responsible for the 
shocking turn of events.

To expiate her guilt, Gwendolen Kilmuir sets out for the Scottish Highlands, 
hoping to explain to the dead girl's mother the circumstances surrounding 
the sorrowful act-and to bring her back to England for the funeral. 
Gwendolen's sole companion on this nightmarish journey is Vespasia. 
As Vespasia learns more about the victim and the ugly forces that shaped 
her desperate deed, she understands the heartbreaking truth of the tragedy.-
