Description

Disguised to Spy.A young constable tracks treacherous traitors. A spinster hopes to find a killer. Will murder destroy their chance for love? Conrad Hoppock left his village and the girl he secretly loved for a chance at a better livelihood. He joined the London constabulary and began working with the Bow Street Runners. Now he hunts the master spy stealing information for Bonapartist France. His search sends him undercover in a lawyer's office. When Phinney Darracott's sister and brother-in-law died, their children whispered "murder". She dismissed that claim as unreasonable terrors caused by the tragic loss. Yet after repeated burglaries and an arson that destroyed their home, Phinney believed the whispers. Now she wants justice for their murders. The clues lead her to London. There, she disguises herself as a cleaning maid for the very law office where Conrad is disguised as a clerk. Phinney's young niece Elise and the street urchin Vic secretly pursue a different tangle of clues to the murders. In the night hours, when all is still, Phinney prowls for the evidence. Then she encounters Conrad. And the lawyer at the center of the tangle of clues is shot dead while they watch from their hiding place. Can Conrad discover the identity of the French mastermind? Will Phinney's single-minded pursuit lead her into the murderer's snare? Will the children be caught and sold into London's underworld? Will they discover the connection between past and present murders? Or will two bullets allow the murderer and the French master spy to continue their work against the British government? The Hazard for Spies is Book 11 in M.A. Lee's Hearts in Hazard series of Regency mysteries and suspense. The novels are loosely connected, and each story is complete in one book. Vic the lockpick and Phinney (disguised as Mrs. Coates) were minor characters in The Hazard of Secrets. Chief Constable Hector Evans, who returns here after his inclusion in The Hazard of Secrets, had his introduction in The Dangers to Hearts and received his own story in The Key to Secrets. The fight against French spies on British soil began with the first Hearts in Hazard books: The Game of Secrets, The Game of Spies, and The Game with Hearts and continued with The Dangers for Spies. For more information about the books in the Hearts in Hazard series of Regency mysteries and suspense as well as M.A. Lee's other published books, please visit her Amazon author page or her website https: //maleebooks.blogspot.com/ M.A. Lee loves writing historical mysteries with a dash of romance. She also pens books on the writing craft as well as fantasies under different pen names. The Hazard for Spies is Lee's 18th novel under that pen name. Since venturing into indie publishing with A Game of Secrets in 2015, she has published more than 25 works of fiction. She happily says, "I'm living my lifelong dream. I hope you enjoy reading my stories as much as I enjoy writing them."
