The Black Midnight — Kathleen Y'Barbo

Two Series of Murders Seem Mysteriously Connected

Could a series of murders in London in 1889 be related to unsolved murders in Austin, Texas, 1884? Queen Victoria wants to know and asks her granddaughter -- who left the queen's good graces by going off to America to become a Pinkerton agent -- to quietly look for any connection. The catch is the queen doesn't want her to do it alone. Alice Anne must find her former Pinkerton agent partner -- now an attorney in Austin -- and enlist him in the hunt. As the pair get closer to finding their suspect, their lives become endangered, but they refuse to be intimidated. Can this case be solved?
