Description
When Stephen Fulford vanishes to seek his fortune as a war reporter, he leaves behind a dark suspicion.
A letter has been stolen: a letter that his brother, Thomas, needed for his research, a letter that was worth a great deal of money.
Enough for a man to seek his fortune with, perhaps.
The letter belonged to the British Museum, and when they find it missing they question Thomas.
But Thomas knows that Stephen was the last one to have it, and his dark suspicion works like poison in his blood.
Should he cover for his brother and shoulder the blame himself?
Or come forward, letting the blame fall on Stephen?
And when the beautiful American, Rhoda Comstock, gets involved, Thomas will have to fight not only the evidence but his own jealousy as well.
Set during the Second Boer War, London Roses is about loyalty, and how deep a person’s loyalty truly lies.
Praise for Dora Greenwell McChesney:
“A striking and powerful story.” Standard.
