Jemima Shore, Fiction, Crime & mystery
An atmospheric and gripping mystery set amidst the backdrop of a royal wedding from Lady Antonia Fraser's Jemima Shore series. Reissued with a new cover for 2015.
'We don't want to hurt her. We must remember that. All of us. She is after all innocent ... Well, isn't she?'
As preparations for the royal wedding advance, a secret organisation is formulating plans that will have dangerous consequences. They need a gesture that will call attention to the rights and wrongs of those who have no voice of their own. And what better way than to target the royal bride?
Meanwhile, Jemima Shore is grappling with the royal wedding in her own way - as a commentator. So she happens to be on hand when things go badly wrong...
