If you have not yet read the first two stories in this series, The Requisite Courage and The Rosewater Debutante, this summary will reveal spoilers!
Lady Adelaide Azalea Margaret de Morville, Mrs. Hugh Becket, lived in the Cape Colony with her commoner husband for eight years and during that time learned to speak fluent German. Adele was widowed in a tragic accident and returned to London in early 1906.
William Melville, a former Scotland Yard senior official and now a shadowy figure in the British government, recruits Adele to help him uncover German agents in Britain, who seek to weaken the Empire. Adele also meets Daniel Hargrave Bannister II, Baron Leighton, whom Melville also employs.
While Adele learns how to operate in Melville’s shadowy world, she foils a German conspiracy surrounding King Edward at Balmoral and uncovers an agent among Britain’s peerage. Her confidence in herself and her abilities grows with each
