Something in the heir / by Hedwig, Jane,author.;

London 1887 ~ When dubiously acquired American fortunes are exchanged for respectable British titles. Everybody’s doing it! Raised by a man with no heart, heiress Kate Dellamort swore she’d never marry ~ until she lost her head to Jack Penrowan, a British lord low on funds but full of fun. Now the honeymoon’s over and Jack’s always away at his club, and though Kate’s new relatives are thrilled with her fortune, they find her American self appalling. Then people start dying ~ and an otherwise seemingly intelligent detective from Scotland Yard seems to think Kate’s to blame! The Gilded Age has a dark side. When a body turns up on the Penrowan estate, Inspector Gabriel Hart would like nothing better than to arrest Lord Jack. The last time the man killed someone, he got away with it. There’s only one small problem—it seems the murder was ordered by an American-based terrorist organization bent on disrupting the Queen’s Golden Jubilee—a group known to have ties to the father of Jack’s dollar-princess bride.
