A note, with a call for help, interrupts Lord Tensbury this morning.

The note can also be blackmail.

Who is behind the blackmail? Will it succeed? Can it be stopped?

If the information hinted in the note becomes public, it will prevent Tensbury’s son Andrew from becoming the youngest prime minister of Britain in over 200 years.

It is nine days before the general election. Andrew is the leader of the Conservative Party. While campaigning, he extols the achievements and humble beginnings of the 1st Baron Tensbury, to whom Queen Victoria granted peerage.

The blackmail note refers to a horrible event in 1850s Africa. It implicates the 1st Baron Tensbury. That is why Tensbury must stop the blackmailer, whoever it is.

Across the Atlantic, a young American woman from Silicon Valley, Hanna Arnol, is getting ready to retrace her ancestor Signe’s steps.

As Tensbury tries to preempt, what he assumes, is the Labor Party’s effort to discredit his son, his agent’s path crosses that of Hanna Arnol, looking to solve the mystery of the lost pages.

Crime, pride, remorse, and intrigue are all part of this story. What was the horrible event in Africa? Do the missing pages contain the answer? And will Tensbury deflect Labor’s plotting efforts?

No kidding, it really was. I’d quit the police force only a couple of days earlier – that was back in 2008 – and I was on my way to a poker game at the Sorbonne when a shadow crossed in front of my car. It went by so fast I didn’t have time to stop. I hit the brakes hard and swerved into the mud at the side of the road. I looked out through the deluge, but it was difficult to make out the figure coming towards the driver’s side window. Instinctively, my hand went for my gun and rested on the grip, but as the figure came closer I could see it was a girl. Her hair, dark, bobbed, was plastered to her head and face. The raccoon eye shadow smeared above her eyes had run in rivulets down her cheeks. She looked like one of the walking dead, but more than that she looked scared, really scared. What the hell is she doing out here alone in this kind of weather? I wondered as I let go of my gun and rolled the window down a half-inch.“Get in the back,” I yelled at her, and flipped the lock so she could open the door. And that’s how it all began. Had I known what I was getting myself into I might have done differently… No, I wouldn’t. Anyway, that’s how I became a private detective. Free on Kindle.
