Thick fog seeping off the Devon moor. The brooding ruins of an alchemist's castle. And the carnival itself, whose maze of tents and caravans hid the priceless Saxony jewels--and the identity of the carny who'd killed for them. Preparing for her first criminal case, Lexie Hudson was glad of Australian roustabout Rick Matheson's friendly face--frankly, the place spooked her.
But Lexie wasn't too scared to pursue any and all leads, and that worried Rick, working undercover for Scotland Yard. His concern wasn't entirely professional--he was greatly attracted to the young American lawyer, who wasn't experienced enough to know that the gravest threat to her well-being was her burning desire to uncover the truth.
