Summary
When she stumbles upon a dead body with an arrow in it while attending a lavish Elizabethan fête in 1899, journalist Emma Vanderbilt, discovering the victim is a judge who didn't walk the straight and narrow, must score a bull's eye to stop the killer from taking another lifeSeptember, 1899. After the death of her uncle, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Emma Cross is in no mood for one of Newport's extravagant parties. But to keep Vanderbilt's reckless son Neily out of trouble, she accompanies him to an Elizabethan fete on the lavish grounds of Wakehurst, the Ochre Point cottage owned by Anglophile James Van Alen. As Emma wanders the grounds, she overhears an argument behind a tall hedge-- and then finds a man on the ground, an arrow through his chest. The victim is one of the 400's most influential members, Judge Clayton Schuyler-- but he was not the straight arrow he appeared to be. -- adapted from jacket
