Verity Kent Mystery Book 7: The Cold Light of Day

The action-packed historical mystery series featuring Verity Kent, a fashionable former Secret Service agent turned intrepid sleuth and high-society darling, continues with the latest novel from the USA Today bestselling author of the Lady Darby Mysteries. A must-read for fans of Jacqueline Winspear and Susan Ella MacNeal.

In June 1920, in Ireland, the streets of Dublin are filled with revolution as the Irish Republican Army clashes with British authorities. Verity Kent and her war hero husband, Sidney, find themselves in a precarious position due to their status as society darlings and skilled sleuths. They must navigate the dangerous landscape carefully, especially when they are tasked with locating Verity’s fellow spy and friend, Captain Alec Xavier.

Alec has disappeared after heading to Dublin to infiltrate the IRA at a high level. Verity, trying to maintain a sense of normalcy while staying hidden from both rebels and British Intelligence, operates undercover during the day and mingles in the elite social circles of the city by night. However, her worst fears are confirmed when evidence suggests that Alec is not only alive but has switched allegiances.

The shocking news, coupled with revelations of a conspiracy within Dublin Castle where personal vendettas are being enacted with the approval of British Intelligence under the guise of revolution, leaves Verity and Sidney reeling. As the line between friend and foe blurs, and the margin for error shrinks, they cannot ignore the situation. Especially when a familiar foe emerges, bringing a threat too terrifying to face, even in the harsh light of day.
