Adele learns just how ruthless German agents can be. In Edwardian England, Lady Adelaide Azalea Margaret de Morville, Mrs. Hugh Becket, continues her work for William Melville, spymaster, even though it has left her with no time to live the life she would prefer, which includes spending at least a little time with Daniel Bannister. When she refuses to travel to Germany to watch over King Edward while he visits the German Emperor to discuss disarmament of their increasingly more competitive navies, Melville gives Adele an alternative, superficial task of watching over a young, sweet debutante, Lady Winnifred. Adele perseveres with the useless, quite horrid task of trailing an innocent girl through the Season. It puts her in the path of German agents, who demonstrate just how dark and dangerous her new work really is... This novelette is the second in the Adelaide Becket Edwardian espionage series. 1: The Requisite Courage 2: The Rosewater Debutante ...and more to come. A historical suspense espionage novelette. ___ Praise for the Adelaide Becket series: Tracy takes you again back in time to an era you could only imagine about but brings it in vivid color through her story A delightful game of cat and mouse I thoroughly enjoyed this magnificent first in series book!!
