Penny for Your Secrets (A Verity Kent Mystery)

England, 1919. In Anna Lee Huberâ€™s latest mystery, former Secret Service agent Verity Kent is finding that life after wartime offers its own share of danger . . .
Â
The Great War may be over, but for many, there are still obstacles on the home front. Reconciling with her estranged husband makes Verity sympathetic to her friend Adaâ€™s marital difficulties. Bourgeois-bred Ada, recently married to the Marquess of Rockham, is overwhelmed trying to navigate the ways of the aristocracy. And when Lord Rockham is discovered shot through the heart with a bullet from Adaâ€™s revolver, Verity fears her friend has made a fatal blunder.
Â
While striving to prove Adaâ€™s innocence, Verity is called upon for another favor. The sister of a former Secret Service colleague has been killed in what authorities believe was a home invasion gone wrong. The victimâ€™s war workâ€”censoring letters sent by soldiers from the frontâ€”exposed her to sensitive, disturbing material. Verity begins to suspect these two unlikely cases may be linked. But as the connections deepen, the consequencesâ€”not just for Verity, but for Britainâ€”grow more menacing than she could have imagined.
