Retribution: Crimes Against the Crown

by Wendy Bayne

Ressurection, Schemes, Retribution
The invitation for a hunt in Scotland coincides with the disappearance of Lord Blackburn's archivists, Paul and Helen Michaud.
It is up to Lissa, Miles, their family and friends to pursue them. Yet, in their incomparable fashion, they find trouble.
Along the way, they discover a long-dead Bruce family secret. Then they stumble across a plot to sabotage a trade agreement with Sweden that would put Britain at the forefront of the free trade movement—involving an assassination that could spell the end of the Agency.
But that is not the only challenge they face once they reach Scotland.

A Lost Love, A Bruce family secret and trade negotiations that are about to go off the rails leave Lissa and Miles in dire straits, and Miles could pay the ultimate price when Retribution comes calling.
