In the wake of the Battle of Waterloo, author Jane Austen hurries to banker Henry Austen’s bedside when his declaration of bankruptcy sends him into dreadfully poor health. The reverend James Stainer Clarke, a fan of Jane’s books, gives her a tour of the prince’s house. Clarke is later found dying in the regent’s library, where he mumbles, “Waterloo map.” Jane must catch a clever killer as she seeks a priceless treasure.
