Jane and the Ghosts of Netley

As Jane Austen stands before the ruins of Netley Abbey, she imagines that ghosts really do haunt the centuries-old monastery. But the cloaked figure who startles her is all too human and bears an unexpected missive from Lord Harold Trowbridge, one of the British government's most trusted advisers--and a than who holds an important place in Jane's life.

On His Majesty's brig Windlass, Trowbridge tells Jane about a suspected traitor in their midst. No sooner is she dispatched to Netley Lodge than Trowbridge's grim prediction bears fruit: a British frigate is set afire and its shipwright is found murdered. But before Jane can follow the trail of conspiracy to its source and unmask a calculating killer, the cold hand of murder falls mercilessly yet again--and Jane may find herself dying for her country.
