So there’s been a little hitch with the posting of the UK cover of Traitor. Lawyers, lawyers. But while they work, there’s no reason I can’t share with you MY summary of the third Mary Quinn novel!
Queen Victoria has a little problem: there’s a petty thief at work in Buckingham Palace. Mary Quinn takes the simple case, going undercover as a domestic servant. But before long, a scandal threatens to tear apart the Royal Family.
One of the Prince of Wales’s irresponsible young friends is killed in disgraceful circumstances. Should the Queen hush things up or allow justice to take its course? Mary’s interest in this private matter soon becomes deeply personal: the killer, a drug-addicted Chinese sailor, shares a name with her long-lost father.
Meanwhile, James Easton’s engineering firm is repairing the sewers beneath Buckingham Palace. Trouble is, there’s a tunnel that’s not on the plans. Its purpose is unclear. But it seems to be very much in use.
These overlapping puzzles offer a perfect opportunity for Mary and James to work together again… if they can still trust one another. This is Mary’s most personal case yet and she has everything to lose.
And that’s The Traitor and The Tunnel, coming in spring 2011 from Walker Books UK and spring 2012 from Candlewick Press. [Edited to add: just had word from Walker that the UK pub date is now August 2011. I apologize for the misinformation!]

still waiting for you to start the subject…….
Guneet says
Ok. I give up. I cant stay quiet for that long. (I admit I love talking). I’m going to high school next year! We got our course selection sheets and I’m not sure about my career. I needed some advice. Im actually interested in either being an art teacher or an author. Could you suggest if an author is good as ajob or a hobby. (i’m sorry if im prying) 🙂
Ying says
Authors earn everything from nothing to millions (guess which is most common?), and there’s no sure way to know which kind you’ll be. I’d recommend having a day job, at least to start with!
Guneet says
Thanks!
