Versailles Formula: A gripping historical thriller of mystery, deception, and deadly secrets
Description
Genevieve Sturbridge thought she'd left danger behind in London. Now she lives a quiet life in the countryside with her husband and son. But an invitation to dine at Sir Horace Walpole's eerie Gothic estate pulls her back into a deadly world of deception, espionage and murder.
At the mysterious dinner party, Genevieve uncovers a shocking secret - a rare pigment of pure blue is being produced again. Coveted by royalty, chemists and spies, its formula is priceless . . . and lethal.
Some will kill to possess it. Others will kill to keep it buried.
Only Genevieve can recognise the formula and stop it falling into the wrong hands. But when a ghost from her past resurfaces, Genevieve must determine who she can trust. Years ago, this secret nearly cost her and her husband their lives. Now, someone is willing to kill for it once more.
Genevieve must discover the truth before time runs out, because this time the price of failure will cost more than just her own life.
This thrilling historical mystery, with its captivating plot of secrets, murder and espionage is perfect for fans of Irina Shapiro, Anna Lee Huber, Emily L. Finch, Kate Morton, Andrew Taylor and C.J. Sansom.
