Victoria's alliance with Basil is threatened like never before-just when she needs him the most.
An intruder has broken into Pendywick Place, attempting to steal back Victoria's torn page. This spurs Basil and Victoria to strike up an alliance with Lord Fred Brody and his siblings-and it sweeps them to the bustling city of Bath. But enter the beautiful and manipulative Maria Brody, who sets her sights on Basil, and the tenuous bond between Basil and Victoria strains to breaking. With the confrontation with the volatile Winchester looming-even with help from the denizens of Baker Street-will the Pendywick Pair even make it out alive, let alone as friends?
