While growing up Agatha's favorite non-Uncle told the most wonderful stories. As she got older, she was certain Uncle Alfred was a spy! Actually, Sir Alfred was the head of "The Ministry of Foreign and Domestic Affairs". In time Agatha gained the unladylike skills necessary to be a spy and pushed Uncle Alfred, with the reluctant help of her father, Lord Wingate, to join the Ministry. While she was employed at the ministry, her role was simple investigations with a lot of paperwork.Agatha retaliated by creating a training school for female spies on her own. The status quo remained unchanged until...As Victorian society's latest celebrity and confidant of Prince Albert; Douglas Souter appeared to be above reproach, until the rumour, "He cheats at cards!"The Ministry of Foreign and Domestic Affairs didn't get involved in such an incidental accusation, but Douglas Souter had the ear of the Prince Consort. Lord Melbourne personally requested Sir Alfred to look into the matter. Circumstances forced Sir Alfred to assign the only agent he had who's qualified for the endeavor; Lady Agatha Wingate, the token woman spy.Lady Agatha knew she was considered nothing more than a novelty in the spy agency, but she was determined to prove that women can be of value.Then the simple request became more sinister.Lady Agatha discovered Douglas Souter was much more than a roguish card cheat. Her investigation uncovered a darker plot to destabilize England's government. Lady Agatha had to race to save a friend and ended up fighting for her own life. To survive, she would need all of her training and maybe the help from a few good gentlemen.
