Book Description
This is the updated THIRD EDITION. A true story stranger than fiction, A Secret Between Gentlemen reveals the British Government's coverup of a scandal involving great names. Buried for 120 years, and stretching from England to Australia and Algeria, this astonishing history of shattered and re-invented lives has never been told - and until recently, could not be told.A SECRET DEEPLY HIDDEN The scandal occurred in the summer of 1902, as Britain was preparing for the coronation of King Edward VII. Behind the scenes, officials were scrambling to hush up a major criminal case. It involved the procurement of youths for thirty prominent and aristocratic gentlemen, including members of parliament. The ringleader of the group was the M.P., connoisseur and plutocrat, Cyril Flower, Lord Battersea. Considered the most handsome man in Parliament, he was married to heiress Constance de Rothschild. PRIVILEGED JUSTICE So grave was the scandal, it was smothered by officials, including King Edward VII, to avoid "a great national disgrace, and pollution of the public mind." All those involved were secretly granted immunity from prosecution, with the exception of two procurers from the gentry who were quietly imprisoned in a stage-managed trial. Following their release from prison they reinvented themselves, with extraordinary consequences. A third procurer, who absconded, became a Vatican chamberlain to Pope Pius XI! DEEPLY RESEARCHED Meticulously researched in archives across the world, and with the help of living descendants, the 840 page book details the investigation, arrests and trial; and behind-the-scenes machinations. It also sheds light on Edwardian society as a whole, from its highest reaches to its lowest depths. It includes 50 pages of photographs: some from private albums are published for the first time. This is the first volume in the A Secret Between Gentlemen biographical trilogy.

Book Description
The thirteenth novel in the magical alternate history Elemental Masters series continues the reimagined adventures of Sherlock Holmes in a richly-detailed alternate Victorian England. The threat of Moriarty is gone—but so is Sherlock Holmes. Even as they mourn the loss of their colleague, psychic Nan Killian, medium Sarah Lyon-White, and Elemental Masters John and Mary Watson must be vigilant, for members of Moriarty’s network are still at large. And their troubles are far from over: in a matter of weeks, two headless bodies of young brides wash up in major waterways. A couple who fears for their own recently-wedded daughter hires the group to investigate, but with each new body, the mystery only deepens. The more bodies emerge, the more the gang suspects that there is dangerous magic at work, and that Moriarty’s associates are somehow involved. But as they race against the clock to uncover the killer, it will take all their talents, Magic, and Psychic Powers—and perhaps some help from a dearly departed friend—to bring the murderer to justice.
