by Catherine Shaw (Author)
Vanessa Duncan was a country girl fascinated with academia but unable to attend university, so when she moved to Cambridge, she became a schoolmistress. All appeared to be going well - until a man she had befriended, Arthur Weatherburn, was accused of being a serial killer. Using her powers of observation and intuition, and defying the social conventions of the late 1880s, Vanessa turned detective and discovered the true identity of the murderer, saving young Weatherburn's life. Vanessa's act of courage did not go unnoticed, and her talent for proving the innocence of the wrongly accused is again called upon. But as Vanessa's investigations progress, she is carried on a perilous journey from the beautiful English countryside to the bright lights of Paris.
