The Second Woman

It’s 1901, and with the Boer War raging, England’s air is crackling with political intrigue. But it’s not South Africa that is on everyone’s lips.

It’s all largely academic for Denton until his neighbor is murdered, and signs point to the growing conflict between the Jews and those who hate them. So Denton yet again sticks his American nose into England’s business. And he keeps it there, even as the price for asking questions grows higher every day.
