Their secret tryst at the Brighton Inn is interrupted by a man from the past.... and a murder unsolved. Can she rely on a man she has never trusted? It's a decade after Napoleon's defeat, but the war still haunts even the victors. Linked by family and by grief, divided by social class, Russian widow Natasha and navy doctor Matthew have lived for years in mutual distrust. But when she's suspected of killing a man from her past, she reaches out to Sir Matthew for help. It takes both his medical training and her intuition to solve the mystery of the murder at the Brighton Inn-- and the secret of her own troubled past. By Alicia Rasley, the award-winning author of The Year She Fell and Until Death.
