Book Description:
Kadin Stone's life is finally
going according to plan. She's starting her new job as a homicide detective's
aide at one of the premier criminal investigation companies in Valeriel City,
the capital of a 1950’s-style kingdom. Kadin is certain her new position will
introduce her to any number of eligible men, so she'll finally be able to get
married and stop burdening the brother who insists on supporting her.
On Kadin’s first day, the royal
family calls in her team to investigate the murder of gossip-rag cover girl
Queen Callista. Kadin’s superiors think it’s an open and shut case. The queen’s
jilted lover Duke Baurus DeValeriel had motive, means, and opportunity, but
Kadin can’t help but spot holes in their theory.
After checking into a few leads
of her own, Kadin inadvertently ends up in the confidence of Duke Baurus. When
she tries to share what she knows with the rest of the team, she finds them
unwilling to listen to the opinion of a girl who they know is only after a ring
on her finger. In order to see justice served, Kadin finds herself doing the
last thing she expected when she started working for a homicide detective—solve
a murder!
