The Lady and the Mighty Pen
Her manuscript held secrets.
Now it's Exhibit A.
In a town where justice wears a crooked smile, the courtroom can be as dangerous as the crime scene.
Lady Anne Worthington, an English countess and brilliant inventor, has finally unveiled the creation that could launch her lifelong dream. But celebration takes a backseat when her dear friend Penelope’s eccentric aunt—beloved local writer Pip Noble—is arrested for murdering her husband, the Honorable Judge. The weapon? A ceremonial sword. The motive? Buried in her scrapped manuscript.
The courtroom is no place for invention, but Lady Anne knows words can be deadly, especially when twisted into lies. With the prosecution determined to silence Aunt Pip and the town turning against her, Lady Anne must put her ambitions on hold and dive into the murky past of a man everyone claimed to admire.
With Penelope at her side and a notebook full of literary clues, can Lady Anne outwit the justice system before the pen becomes a deadly weapon? Or will she discover that in a town like this, even the innocent can be sentenced to silence when the killer writes the last chapter?
Parker County, Texas, 1925
