A renowned historian’s temporary assistant gets wrapped up in a madcap international mystery in this “tongue-in-cheek charmer” (Kirkus).

A strange twist of fate at the Copenhagen Airport brings Elizabeth Jones face to face with her idol, the brilliant, eccentric historian Margaret Rosenberg. An even stranger accident makes Elizabeth the esteemed scholar's new private assistant. But luck can go from good to bad in an instant—and less than twenty-four hours later, the great lady is kidnapped by persons unknown.

Suddenly desperate in a foreign land, Elizabeth must cast her lot with Rosenberg's handsome, insufferable son Christian in hopes of finding her vanished benefactor. On a trail that leads from modern wonders to ancient mystery, a determined young woman and an arrogant "prince" must uncover shocking secrets carefully guarded in the beautiful Danish city. And they must survive a mysterious affair that is turning darker and deadlier by the hour.
