Veronica Speedwell results in a brand new experience from Deanna Raybourn, the New York Times best-selling author of the girl Julia Gray mysteries. Victorian adventuress and butterfly hunter Veronica Speedwell will get an invitation to visit the Curiosity Golf club, a ladies-only establishment for daring and intrepid women. There she complies with the mysterious Woman Sundridge, who begs her to take on an impossible task - saving modern culture art patron Kilometers Ramsforth from execution. Accused of the brutal murder of his designer mistress Artemisia, Ramsforth will face the hangman's noose in a week's time if Veronica cannot find the true killer. But Woman Sundridge is not absolutely all that she seems, and unmasking her true individuality is merely the first of the many secrets Veronica must find out. As well as her natural historian colleague Stoker, Veronica races against time to find the true murderer - a ruthless villain who not only required Artemisia's life in wintry blood but is happy to see Ramsforth hang up for the criminal offenses. From a Bohemian designers' colony to a royal palace to a subterranean grotto with a decadent history, the investigation proves to be always a very perilous undertaking indeed.
