How To Prove A Lady Is Innocent
(2023)(The fifth book in the Cornish Smuggling Files series)
A novel by Rebecca King
England is at war with the French. Traitors betraying England are smuggling French spies, amongst other things, onto English soil.
When Florrie is caught with a bloodied knife in her hand at her cousin’s wedding, her entire world is thrown into chaos. A web of mystery swiftly begins to unravel dark secrets which leaves her shaken to her core. She’s horrified when nobody believes she’s innocent, and soon finds herself being investigated by the Star Elite. Unfortunately, Patrick ‘Pie’ Masters should be enjoying a brief respite from protecting England’s borders from French spy smugglers. Instead, he’s drawn to trying to plunge the depths of Florrie’s deepest secrets. Florrie doesn’t fit the usual criteria of a cold-bloodied murderess, but Pie has learned that it’s foolish to be conned by a beautiful face.
Their quest for answers uncovers more sinister secrets than either of them anticipated but can they uncover the truth before the murderer strikes again, this time with Florrie as his victim? Or will Pie end up facing the ultimate of battles that could bring the end to his own life?
