Windsor Castle, 1861. Prince Albert, the Queen’s Consort, lies dying, and Victoria summons Patrick Fitzgerald, the clever, embittered Irish barrister who helped defend Her Majesty from a would-be assassin twenty years earlier. Within hours, Fitzgerald’s beautiful ward is nearly murdered, his chambers are ransacked, and another girl lies dead. Could an unknown force at Windsor want Fitzgerald silenced? And why? The answers are entangled in an electrifying tale of intrigue, seduction, and betrayal, partially narrated by Europe’s most powerful monarch.

As fascinating as the Queen herself, seamlessly blending history and suspense, A Flaw in the Blood is an elegant thriller that is utterly convincing—and utterly surprising—to its very end.]]> 17764 3.70 3406 417 2008 0 2009-03-09T08:27:59-07:00 480395 169 2009-03-09T08:27:59-07:00 0 2009-03-08T16:35:23-07:00 477997 57 2009-03-08T16:35:23-07:00 4 0 false Tue Mar 10 08:32:44 -0700 2009 Sun Feb 01 10:19:24 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 10 08:32:44 -0700 2009
