"A Tom Doherty Associates book."
Originally published in 2010.
Lord Winthrop, a famous Egyptologist, has returned from the Middle East with an unusual mummy and intends to unveil it a party for the cream of London society; Veronica is on the trail of a presumed serial killer; and, Maurice gets an express order from the Queen to bring agent Caspian in. Hovering over all of this is the long shadow of Newbury's predecessor as Queen's expert agent on the occult, one Dr. Knox who seemingly loyal and dedicated to the Empire, had a gruesome agenda--to achieve immortality.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
A good second book submitted by KatieD on June 22, 2019, 9:20am This book does have some good twists and turns in it. I felt that Veronica was not quite as strong a heroine as she was in the Affinity Bridge, but I suppose she can't be the hero all the time. Aside from that, I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
