In London 1946, The Right Sort Marriage Bureau is just beginning to take off and the proprietors, Miss Iris Sparks and Mrs. Gwendolyn Bainbridge, are in need of a bigger office and a secretary to handle the growing demand. Unfortunately, they don't yet have the necessary means. So when a woman arrives - a cousin of Gwen's - with an interesting and quite remunerative proposition, they two of them are all ears. The cousin, one Lady Matheson, works for the Queen in "some capacity" and is in need of some discreet investigation. It seems that the Princess Elizabeth has developed feelings for a dashing Greek prince and a blackmail note has arrived, alluding to some potentially damaging information about said prince. Wanting to keep this out of the palace gossip circles, but also needing to find out what skeletons might lurk in the prince's closet, the palace has quietly turned to Gwen and Iris. Without causing a stir, the two of them must now find out what secrets lurk in the prince's past, before his engagement to the future Queen of England is announced. And there's more at stake than the future of the Empire - there is their potential new office that lies in the balance"--Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Elizabeth $b II, $c Queen of Great Britain, $d 1926- $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women-owned business enterprises $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Investigations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Extortion $v Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Entreprises appartenant aÌ des femmes $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a EnqueÌtes $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 651 6 $a Londres (Angleterre) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $x Histoire $0 (CaQQLa)201-0042992 $y 20e sieÌcle $0 (CaQQLa)201-0373677 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 600 07 $a Elizabeth $b II, $c Queen of Great Britain, $d 1926- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00061556 650 7 $a Women-owned business enterprises. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01179163 650 7 $a Investigations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00978151 650 7 $a Extortion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00918984 651 7 $a England $z London. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204271 600 17 $a Elizabeth $b II $c Queen of Great Britain $d 1926- $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Extortion $v Fiction. $2 sears 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 0 $a Detective and mystery stories. 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726581 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726537 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 800 1 $a Montclair, Allison. $t Sparks & Bainbridge mystery ; $v 2. 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20220620154053.0 $n 6 $p 1 BOCD 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0DD52A72F0CE11ECBB5FC64E213FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
