Lily Raynor, owner of the World's End Investigation Bureau, is growing increasingly worried. Work is drying up, finances are tight and she cannot find enough for her sole employee, Felix Wilbraham, to do. So when schoolteacher Georgiana Long arrives, with a worrying tale of runaway pupils, it seems like the answer to her prayers. The case is an interesting one, and what could be less perilous than a trip to a girls' boarding school, out in the Fens? Disguised as the new Assistant Matron, Lily joins the Shardlowes School staff, while Felix - suppressing his worries about his cool, calm employer - remains behind.

Felix can't shake off his fear that Lily is in danger - and soon, his premonitions come frighteningly true . . ."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women private investigators $z London $z London $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Boarding schools $z England $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Missing persons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Criminal investigation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Conspiracies $v Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Social conditions $y 19th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 800 1 $a Clare, Alys. $t World's End Bureau mystery. 941 $a 10 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909062314.0 952 $l NVPB663 $d 20210914010202.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210723014033.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20210603021121.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210504014153.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20210302015125.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20210205021507.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210105011905.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210105010907.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201204010118.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5CF7B5A235FE11EBA5F7CB3429ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
