Mary Quinn will take on her most challenging assignment for The Agency yet. She'll have to pose as a twelve-year-old boy looking for work at the construction site for the Houses of Parliament. A man fell from his death from the top of the tower, and no one can figure out more details.
This assignment brings back memories from her old life, where she lived as a boy on the streets until the ladies rescued her. In order to replicate her persona, she will remain incognito throughout the mission. Under the circumstances, her emotional state remains fragile, nervous, and scared. However, she's determined to take on this assignment and see it through.
On her first day as Mark, she makes two grave mistakes within minutes of arriving on site. She makes it known that she can read, which gives her an edge on most men. Mary's making a little progress on the case when Mr. James Easton appears - also on the case. It's been a year since she's seen him and he's changed drastically. When he doesn't seem to recognize her, she's not sure if she's happy or disappointed.
Can Mary/Mark worm her way into the building crowd enough to uncover the truth about the man's death? Could it truly be an accident, or was it something more sinister?
I ADORE this series; it's perfect historical fiction. Mary's a feisty girl, who along with the other strong females at The Agency, helps bring down the bad guys. Plus, there's the thrilling spy moments, the undercover scenes, the mystery which always leads to danger, and the sparks of romance.
I can't wait to see how this trilogy ends.
