Jane and the Waterloo Map Barron Stephanie
Jane Austen turns sleuth in this delightful Regency-era mysteryNovember, 1815. The crisis destroys Henry's health, and Jane flies to his London bedside, believing him to be dying. The Battle of Waterloo has come and gone, leaving the British economy in shreds; Henry Austen, high-flying banker, is about to declare bankruptcy--dragging several of his brothers down with him.
But her visit takes a startling turn when Jane stumbles upon a body--sprawled on the carpet in the Regent's library. While she's there, the chaplain to His Royal Highness the Prince Regent invites Jane to tour Carlton House, the Prince's fabulous London home. The dying man utters a single failing phrase: "Waterloo map," sending Jane on the hunt for a treasure of incalculable value and a killer of considerable cunning.From the Hardcover
