This StarCrossed sequel finds Lord Durrel Decath accused of murdering his wife. Petty thief Digger uses all her eavesdropping, forging, and lock-picking skills to identify the real murderer and save Durrel from execution. Bunce's confection of romantic fantasy, light and speedy in the reading, also offers up the ins and outs of courtly intrigue and marriage- and power-brokering.
