A Kendra Donovan mystery, 6

July 1816. FBI agent Kendra Donovan has been dealing with a serious case of cold feet after impulsively agreeing to marry Alec, the Marquis of Sutcliffe. There is also the tantalizing possibility that maybe, just maybe she could return to her own timeline as the one-year anniversary of her shocking arrival in the early 19th century approaches. When Reginald Lansing, the Earl of Craymore, is found mortally wounded on the Duke of Aldridge's land, it appears as he is the victim of a highwayman. Lansing had been traveling with the Anahita Pink, a priceless pink diamond that can be traced to the lost treasure of King John, and has since vanished. Craymore's sister, Lady Evelyn, was committed to a madhouse to prevent her from marrying a fortune hunter, and recently he'd been heard arguing with his radical cousin, who is next in line to inherit the title and Craymore fortune. When the killer strikes again, Kendra is up against a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to win. -- adapted from back cover
