From the publisher:
Everyone’s favorite lepidopterist is back for another thrilling adventure in New York Times bestselling author Deanna Raybourn’s latest Veronica Speedwell mystery. It’s autumn 1888, and infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper is terrorizing the good people of London. Sassy-yet-classy butterfly collector Veronica Speedwell and her love interest, Stoker, have only just returned from their latest adventure when Lady Wellingtonia Beauclerk approaches them with a worrisome proposition. Prince Albert Victor—who also happens to be Veronica’s half-brother—is a regular visitor at an exclusive and rather scandalous establishment where the wealthy go to play at night. Its proprietress is a powerful businesswoman of the darkest sort, and she’s rumored to possess a very expensive, incriminating gift given to her by the prince. Stoker and Veronica go under-cover at the brothel to retrieve the gift and clear the prince’s name—but when another body is found during their visit, the tables turn. Could the prince have something to do with the murders—and might he have some connection to Jack the Ripper?
