Description

In the ninth installment of Lauren Willig's best-selling Red Carnation sequence, a dreadful poet teams up by having an American widow to avoid Napoleon's invasion of England. Key agent Augustus Whittlesby has invested ten years undercover in Portugal, being an insufferably poor poet appearing. The German monitoring officials can not bear to see his work carefully enough to identify the info drowned in a sea of verbiage.New York-created Emma Morris Delagardie is just a thorn in Augustus's aspect. A classic college friend of Napoleon's stepdaughter, she found France with her dad, the American envoy; eloped with a Frenchman; and hasbeen rattling round the salons of Paris since.
