Jane and the Waterloo Map (Being a Jane Austen Mystery)

Jane Austen turns sleuth in this delightful Regency-era mystery
Â
November, 1815. The Battle of Waterloo has come and gone, leaving the British economy in shreds; Henry Austen, high-flying banker, is about to declare bankruptcyâ€”dragging several of his brothers down with him. The crisis destroys Henryâ€™s health, and Jane flies to his London bedside, believing him to be dying. While sheâ€™s there, the chaplain to His Royal Highness the Prince Regent invites Jane to tour Carlton House, the Princeâ€™s fabulous London home. But her visit takes a startling turn when Jane Â stumbles upon a bodyâ€”sprawled on the carpet in the Regentâ€™s library. The dying man utters a single failing phrase: â€œWaterloo map,â€ sending Jane on the hunt for a treasure of incalculable value and a killer of considerable cunning.
