Amethyst Cross

by Fergus Hume

In the heart of Victorian England, Lesbia Hales finds herself trapped in a web of secrets and desires. Her father's disapproval of her love for George Walker and her mother's untimely death leave her feeling isolated and desperate. She's forced to navigate a complex family dynamic, keeping secrets to achieve her own goals. But tragedy strikes when George is injured in her home, and an expensive amethyst cross vanishes. The theft plunges Lesbia into a world of suspicion, forcing her to question those closest to her and confront the dark secrets that haunt her family.
