'The Fugitive Colours is a book you'll have trouble putting down!' New York Times and US Today bestselling author Kate Quinn
London 1764.
A man's body lies slumped on his Chippendale desk. Genevieve Sturbridge's knife has been driven into his embroidered coat. But she insists she's innocent . . .
Genevieve has returned to Spitalfields, but she is struggling to keep her silk design business afloat.
Then a mysterious invitation arrives from renowned artist, Joshua Reynolds. Genevieve dares to hope this will change her fortunes and give her entry into the closed circle of the art world.
She doesn't expect the party to lead to an accusation of murder.
Someone is trying to bring her scandalous past to light. And Genevieve is forced to go to unimaginable lengths to keep her secrets buried.
