Death in Hyde Park by Robin Paige plunges readers into the intrigue of early 20th-century Britain, where political tensions run high amidst the backdrop of Queen Victoria's passing. Long live King Edward!

At the new king's coronation ceremony, chaos ensues when an anarchist inadvertently detonates a bomb in Hyde Park, clearly targeting the Royals. In a race against time, Kate and Charles Sheridan are tasked with uncovering the identity of those threatening the crown.

As they delve deeper into the conspiracy, they encounter a brash and arrogant American author named Jack London, whose involvement raises more questions than answers. Who exactly are the terrorists, and what threats do they truly pose? Are the efforts to combat these threats even more perilous?

Join Kate and Charles as they navigate the dangerous world of turn-of-the-century terrorism in Death in Hyde Park, where the line between friend and foe may not be as clear as it seems.
