Elizabeth Camden Knihy

Historický román, plný intríg a napätia, zasadený do New Yorku počiatkov nášho storočia. Ako biochemička pôsobiaca začiatkom dvadsiateho storočia v New Yorku doktorka Rosalinda Wernerová zasvätila svoj život križiackej výprave proti chorobám prenášaným vodou. Patrí k priekopníkom novej prelomovej technológie, ktorá zmení spôsob dodávania vody do každej domácnosti v meste – ale iba vtedy, ak sa jej podarí presvedčiť ľudí o zmysle svojej práce. Nedávno vymenovaný komisár Newyorskej vodnej správy Nicholas Drake veľmi pochybuje o Rosalinde a metódach, ktoré používa tím jej spolupracovníkov. Keď sa s ňou počas súdneho sporu dostane do priamej konfrontácie, je zaskočený svojou reakciou na pôvabnú vedkyňu. Aj keď Rosalinda a Nick vedú súkromnú vojnu proti náklonnosti, ktorú k sebe cítia, pevne stoja na opačných stranách v bitke, ktorá neovplyvní iba ich životy. Keď verejné pobúrenie vzrastie a Rosalinda sa stane terčom neznámeho nepriateľa, obaja súperi si uvedomia, že v hre je oveľa viac, než sa im kedy snívalo.

Telegrafistka Lucy Drakeová ovláda Morseovu abecedu a zaradila sa medzi neoceniteľné aktíva spravodajskej agentúry Associated Press. Náhly príchod sira Colina Beckwitha do konkurenčnej britskej agentúry Reuters však jej ťažko vydreté živobytie ohrozí. Colin je nadaný, príťažlivý, neznesiteľne očarujúci – a skrýva tajomstvo, ktoré ohrozuje jeho dobré meno. Aj keď sú súperi, Lucy nemôže poprieť, že Colin má konexie, ktoré ona potrebuje, aby získala pre svoju rodinu výhodu v dlhotrvajúcej právnej bitke o právoplatné dedičstvo. Keď však Lucy a Colin uzatvoria nečakané spojenectvo, pavučina zrady, do ktorej sa vrhnú, sa ukáže oveľa nebezpečnejšia, než si kedy predstavovali.
