In this second Simon Abelard thriller, a section of British Intelligence is still reeling from the unsolved murder of one of its officers. The pain goes deeper because this killing and others before it might have been carried out by members of the section itself in a bloody internal power battle. Now, to make matters worse, Olly Horton has left the Service and is about to write a book. His former chiefs fear what might come to light and order their most experienced and skilled man, Simon Abelard, to dissuade Horton from going ahead, giving him new girl, Iris Insole, to help. Pretty soon both Iris and Simon find themselves in real danger, unsure of who is friend, who is foe.

Dear Reader: It's time for a bit of cat racing, a sinister mystery, and a light touch of gothic menace. Add the signature Sherbrooke grit and wit and voila, you have Pendragon. Here's to the next generation--Tysen Sherbrooke now has four sons and Meggie, age 19. Her almost-cousin, Jeremy Stanton-Greville, Sophia Sherbroooke's brother, the man Meggie has held in silent adoration since she was thirteen years old, unknowingly breaks her guileless heart. Deeply depressed, she rallies with a hasty marriage to Thomas Malcombe, the earl of Lancaster and a brand new card in the Sherbrooke deck, in the spring of 1824, despite a very nasty rumor involving a local girl. Thomas takes his bride to Pendragon, a castle on the southeastern coast of Ireland. A monstrous old place, filled with very eccentric folk, Pendragon nonetheless charms Meggie, until she discovers that she's there for a reason that could lead to disaster. The Sherbrooke Brides - 7
