Description
"London, 1889. As Veronica Speedwell assembles a memorial exhibition for a pioneering mountain climber, she discovers that the recent death was really murder. Veronica and her beau, Revelstoke Templeton-Vane, tell the patron of the exhibit, Princess Gisela of the Alpenwald, of their findings. But Gisela's chancellor does not want to make waves -- and then, the princess disappears. Having noted Veronica's resemblance to the princess, the chancellor begs her to pose as Gisela for the sake of the peace treaty that brouthg the princess to England. Veronica and Stoker must try to keep the treaty intact while navigating unwelcome advances and assassination attempts."--Page 4 of cover
