Description
A new series celebrating women of a certain age with a passion for history -- and a craving for a little mystery in their lives.
A few dead queens are nothing to lose your head about... A decade ago, thieves stole antiquities from a museum display in Paris. The exhibit, titled "The Executed Queens" contained heirlooms belonging to Anne Boleyn, Marie Antoinette, and Mary, the Queen of Scots. No one has seen the relics since.
Giovanni di Caro is an expert on historic books, and the alleged forger of Galileo's treatise on astronomy. He's in a close relationship with Iris Dittmeyer, so he's understandably apprehensive when he gets a mysterious letter:
A box, book, and a parcel of letters must be restored to their rightful owner. Don't delay or your queen will meet the same fate as those other charming ladies.
The cryptic message contains an unpleasant revelation for Iris. Finding the stolen items is vital, but so is protecting her heart.
When a lead on Anne Boleyn's book takes them to New York City, they find a cantankerous book dealer slumped over in his wheelchair. Unequivocally dead. As they work to unravel the truth behind his death and locate the missing book, the couple encounter secrets everywhere... including inside a medieval book of prayers.
The Book of Arcane Secrets is the first novel in the completed Executed Queens series.
