  • As
  • Christmas
  • of
  • 1804
  • approaches,
  • Jane
  • Austen
  • finds
  • herself
  • "insupportably
  • bored
  • with
  • Bath,
  • and
  • the
  • littleness
  • of
  • a
  • town."
  • It
  • is
  • with
  • relief
  • that
  • she
  • accepts
  • a
  • peculiar
  • commission
  • from
  • her
  • Gentleman
  • Rogue,
  • Lord
  • Harold
  • Trowbridge—to
  • shadow
  • his
  • niece,
  • Lady
  • Desdemona,
  • who
  • has
  • fled
  • to
  • Bath
  • to
  • avoid
  • the
  • attentions
  • of
  • the
  • unsavoury
  • Earl
  • of
  • Swithin.But
  • Jane's
  • idle
  • diversion
  • turns
  • deadly
  • when
  • a
  • man
  • is
  • discovered
  • stabbed
  • to
  • death
  • in
  • the
  • Theatre
  • Royal.
  • Adding
  • to
  • the
  • mystery
  • is
  • an
  • unusual
  • object
  • found
  • on
  • the
  • victim's
  • body—a
  • pendant
  • that
  • contains
  • a
  • portrait
  • of
  • an
  • eye!
  • As
  • Jane's
  • fascination
  • with
  • scandal
  • leads
  • her
  • deeper
  • into
  • the
  • investigation,
  • it
  • becomes
  • clear
  • that
  • she
  • will
  • not
  • uncover
  • the
  • truth
  • without
  • some
  • dangerous
  • playacting
  • of
  • her own....
