Philomena Amesbury, the expatriate Countess of Dunbridge, finds herself bored amidst the sweltering summer of 1908 at Coney Island. While sea bathing, horse racing, and amusement parks offer diversions for a young woman of means, nothing compares to the thrill of uncovering dastardly plots and chasing villains. Lady Dunbridge has not had a significant challenge in months. However, fate intervenes when Phil is called upon to host a dinner party in honor of a visiting Austrian psychologist whose revolutionary theories may hold immense interest for the War Department, as well as various foreign powers. The guest list for this exclusive event includes a wealthy industrialist, rival scientists and academics, a party hypnotist, a flamboyant party-crasher, and a damaged beauty whose cloudy psyche is lost in a world of her own. Before the night is over, one of the guests is dead, with a bullet between their eyes, leaving Phil with another mystery on her hands. To make matters worse, the police's prime suspect is a mysterious man whom Phil happens to be intimately acquainted with. Now, it is up to Lady Dunbridge, with the invaluable assistance of her intrepid butler and lady's maid, to find the real culprit before the police apprehend the wrong one. As the stakes rise, Phil must navigate through a web of lies, deceit, and treachery, using her sharp wit and intuition to unravel the truth before it's too late. With each passing moment, the danger grows, and Phil must face her darkest fears and deepest secrets if she hopes to survive and protect those she loves. "A Secret Never Told" is a thrilling and suspenseful tale that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page.
