Comments: Edward the VII's coronation is almost here! A mysterious spectre, taking place at the famed Tower of London, that could threaten the indestructible British Empire has occurred. Something is behind this, Penny is sure of it, something bigger this time. Bigger than ever before...

Main characters:Penelope Tredwell, Montgomery Flinch, King Edward the VII, Kaiser Wilhelm the II.

Synopsis: An obscure letter confessing a diabolical crime arrives at the office of The Penny Dreadful. The theft of the Crown Jewels. A wonderful plot for the magazine, but what if its all true...?

Review: This is an amazing History lesson mixed with  a blood-curdling tale of crime and ghosts, kidnap and impossibility.You won't find anything like it. ( I must say the rest of the series are one exception.) It tells the story of a young girl of 1902 hiding incredible talent behind the facade of an actor, caught up in unbelievable adventures and solve tantalizing crimes. For every detecting sleuth out there, you simply must read this book!
