Genevieve Planché returns in The Versailles Formula, the third book in the historical suspense series. Genevieve has left the dangers of London for a quiet life in the countryside with her husband and young son. But when she is invited to a dinner party at Sir Horace Walpole’s magnificent Gothic estate, she is drawn into a terrifying web of deception, espionage, and murder.
Days after the mysterious dinner party, Genevieve makes a shocking discovery — a secret pigment of the deepest, purest blue is being produced once more. The formula is so rare, it’s the obsession of chemists, royalty, and spies.
Some will kill to possess it. Others will kill to keep it buried.
