Interlaken Intrigue

‘RESPECTABLE LADY COMPANIONS SCREAM FOR HELP WHEN STRANGE MEN CLIMB INTO THEIR ROOMS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT...'

So why had Miss Verity Lyndon melted into the arms of her intruder instead? And further, why had she remained silent when she discovered that he was Matthew Burton, the celebrated alpinist?

Rich and idle people from the four corners of the Western world had gathered in this quiet Swiss hotel in 1906, and not all of them were there for the sake of the mountains... Thefts, mysteries, stolen jewellery hidden in people's rooms, a madman, a spy ring. Somehow, at the centre of all this, was Matthew Burton.

Verity suspected he might be an international jewel thief, she dared not consider the possibility that he might also be a potential murderer. Or was there another reason altogether for his presence in Switzerland?
