| Summary: | "In the divided land of England, Elizabeth Barnabus has been living a double life--as both herself and as her brother, the private detective. Witnessing the hanging of Alice Carter, the false duchess, Elizabeth resolves to throw the Bullet Catcher's Handbook into the fire, and forget her past. If only it were that easy! There is a new charitable organization in town, run by some highly respectable women. But something doesn't feel right to Elizabeth.
