The Rannoch Fraser Mysteries #18 London, December, 1819. After their recent adventures, former spies Malcolm and M lanie Rannoch are looking forward to spending a quiet holiday season with friends and family. The greatest danger seems to be M lanie's scandalous debut in a Christmas pantomime, which has shocked Mayfair's elite. But when an old friend smuggles a fugitive from the Continent into the theatre on opening night, the Rannochs find themselves facing both government agents and a mysterious assassin. As they infiltrate secret meetings, intercept coded documents, and reunite estranged lovers, they quickly realize nothing is quite what it seems. At least, as M lanie tells her husband, they are spending the holidays with those closest to them-even if they aren't sure they can trust their nearest and dearest... "Shimmers like the finest salons in Vienna." -Deborah Crombie"Glittering balls, deadly intrigue, sexual scandals. . .the next best thing to actually being there "- Lauren Willig"A superb storyteller."- Deanna Raybourn
