Description
February, 1906. Personal secretary of the recently departed Duke of Olympia, Miss Emmeline Rose Truelove never expected her duties to involve steaming through the Mediterranean on a private yacht, under the prodigal eye of one Lord Silverton, on a quest to find the duke's enigmatic heir. An expert on anachronisms, Maximilian Haywood was last seen at an archaeological dig on the island of Crete. From the moment Truelove and Silverton disembark they must deal with a ransacked flat, a murdered government employee, and an assassination attempt. Tracing Max's trail, piecing together the strange events of the days before his disappearance, Truelove will discover the folly of her misconceptions-- about the whims of the heart, the motives of men, and the nature of time itself.
