Professor Edmund Hale has spent twenty years building a reputation as one of the Anglo Consortium's most respected historians.

He has also spent twenty years betraying it.

Passing information to the Aurigan Dominion began as an intellectual exercise, then became a source of money, and finally a habit he could no longer escape. His double life has survived because he has always been careful.

Until now.

Trapped in a miserable marriage and increasingly obsessed with a younger colleague, Hale convinces himself that one murder will solve all his problems.

Instead, it creates new ones.

When his wife disappears, Anglo Counterintelligence opens an investigation. At the same time, Aurigan Intelligence begins asking dangerous questions of its own. Both sides are searching for answers. Neither realizes that murder and espionage are about to collide.

As the net tightens around him, Hale discovers that secrets are easier to keep than consequences.

Set in the richly imagined universe of Anglo Space, The Scholar's Widow combines classic British-style suspense, espionage, murder mystery, and science fiction intrigue in a tale of ambition, betrayal, and the fatal cost of self-deception.
