Veronica must confront a part of her past she has hidden even from her lover, natural historian Revelstoke “Stoker” Templeton-Vane, after she and Stoker come to the Hathaways’ Dartmoor mansion to investigate the impossible imposter’s claim. He says he wants nothing, but if he proves to be the original heir, Charles and his ambitious wife could lose their home and possessions, including the Eye of the Dawn, a priceless ruby acquired, perhaps illegally, from an Indian maharani. In 1889, an amnesiac man carrying Jonathan’s passport arrives at Hathaway Hall. Jonathan was presumed killed and his younger brother, Charles, inherited the Hathaway estate. In 1883, Veronica was visiting Sumatra with fellow lepidopterist Jonathan Hathaway when Krakatoa erupted. Raybourn’s delightful seventh Veronica Speedwell mystery (after 2021’s An Unexpected Peril) centers on a mysterious claimant.
