Título: The ORoarke Affair
Autor: Tracy Grant
Sinopse: In dazzling Regency London, married spies Malcolm and Mélanie Rannoch find their most challenging investigation may be uncovering the secrets of the cunning spymaster who shaped both their destinies. Spymaster. Revolutionary. Master of disguise. Raoul ORoarke remains an enigma even to those closest to him. By the age of three, Malcolm Rannoch knew enough of Raoul's life that he wondered if every goodbye would be their last. Thirty years later, Malcolm, now a spy himself, understands a great deal more, but in many ways Raoul is still a mystery. Malcolms wife and fellow agent Mélanie has her own complicated relationship with Raoul, who was once her spymaster. When a contact at a dockside tavern warns the Rannochs that powerful forces want Raoul dead, Malcolm and Mélanie are shaken to the core. Theyve barely had time to absorb the revelation when a nearby ship explodes. Rushing to help fight the ensuing fire, the Rannochs find the body of the powerful Duke of Bamford amid the charred wreckage. Bamford, a Tory diplomat and Raoul, a revolutionary, knew each other far better than anyone realized. Their unlikely alliance leads from the French Revolution through Napoleon and Josephines glamorous court to the glittering Congress of Vienna, and the horrors of Waterloo. The clues from their past hold the key to Bamfords murder. As Malcolm and Mélanie connect the pieces, they find as many questions as answers. Raoul has even more secrets than either of them guessedsecrets they need to uncover to prevent his meeting the same fate as the duke. But the process may shake their relationships with him to the core. And their next goodbye could be their final parting.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora NYLA trazem narrativas que transitam entre o suspense, o romance e o mistério, com personagens complexos e conflitos intensos. A experiência de leitura costuma envolver mundos tanto do cotidiano quanto do fantástico, como pequenas vilas inglesas, comunidades amish, e até universos com seres sobrenaturais e intrigas mafiosas. O tom varia do dramático ao leve e bem-humorado, com ritmo que pode ser tanto ágil quanto mais contemplativo, dependendo da obra. As sinopses sugerem uma predileção por histórias centradas em personagens fortes, muitas vezes mulheres em situações desafiadoras, e enredos que exploram lealdades familiares, justiça e vingança.
