FOR EVERYONE WHO LOVES JANE AUSTEN. THE FOURTH ENGAGING MYSTERY IN THE SERIES THAT RECASTS THE WEL-LOVED AUTHOR AS A SLEUTH!In the waning days of summer, Jane Austen is off to the Canterbury Races, where the rich and fashionable gamble away their fortunes. It is an atmosphere ripe for scandal -- but even Jane is unprepared for the shocking drama that unfolds. A flamboyant French beauty, known for her brazen behavior, is found gruesomely strangled in a shabby chaise. While many urge the arrest of a known scoundrel with eyes for the victim, Jane looks further afield and finds a number of acquaintances behaving oddly. As rumors spread like wildfire that Napoleon's fleet is bound for Kent, Jane suspects that the murder was an act of war rather than a crime of passion. Suddenly the peaceful fields of Kent are a very dangerous place.and Jane's thirst for justice may exact the steepest price of all -- her life.
