Emily and Colin jump into action, but their suspect list is large, including a wonderful spinster and her not-so-wonderful companion; a local doctor; a widow who lives nearby; an English explorer; and an Englishman who now runs a tea plantation near Darjeeling. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e1740: Fifteen-year-old Ahilyabai has been married to the son of Malharrao Holkar, the Lord of the Malwa territory, for seven years. Now the time has finally come to produce an heir.

Faced with this tortured and distant man, Ahilya's sense of loyalty is tested as she attempts to balance fulfilling her duty with forging her own destiny. Her decisions will have ripple effects across time--including Lady Emily's investigation almost two hundred years later. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLady Emily's case takes a dramatic turn when a shocking new person arrives at the fort--and when the killer strikes again shortly afterwards, she and Colin must race to uncover the villain's identity before it's too late. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/span\u003e 07\/01\/2026 pg. 38 (EAN 9781250375018, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eAlexander, Tasha\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTASHA ALEXANDER is the author of the \n\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling Lady Emily mystery series.
