Yes, I know John Brown’s body has a mould ring in the grave. Yes, I know the raid on Harper’s Ferry occurred a year and a half before the first shots were fired in the Civil War. Yes, I even know that Robert E. Lee commanded the troops that took John Brown prisoner and that John Wilkes Booth attended his execution. But what I didn’t know could fill a book and this is it: a compelling account of one of the most important moments in U.S. history.

In this latest book in the Pink Carnation series, Willig introduces her strongest heroine yet, Laura Gray, a veteran governess who joins the Selwick Spy School expecting to find elaborate disguises and thrilling exploits. However, when her first assignment is to serve as governess for the children of Andre Jaouen, right-hand man to Bonaparte's minister of police, Laura is hardly pleased, until she begins to notice strange behavior from Jaouen. As their plots begin to unravel, Laura and Jaouen are forced to flee with the children, but with Jaouen's arch rival hot on their trail, can they seal the fate of Europe before it's too late?
