Kate Blackwell is one of the richest women in the world. She is an enigma, a woman surrounded by unanswered questions. Her father was a diamond prospector who struck it rich, her mother the daughter of a crooked Afrikaaner merchant. On her ninetieth birthday ghosts haunt Kate's thoughts.

The Concubine’s Daughter
In 1906 Southern China, newborn Li-Xia (Li) is nearly murdered by her elderly father because she is a girl, only to be saved by the specter of a fox fairy. Li lives in a rice shed mostly forgotten, as she wonders about her dead mother, who had been an educated concubine. After Li rebels against attempts to bind her feet, she is sold on her eighth birthday to a silk merchant and finds a temporary family among the female laborers while she dreams of learning to read and write.
Degraded knight Crispin Guest is the hardboiled, reluctant investigator in Veil of Lies, first in a "medieval noir" mystery series. He sorely needs the fee offered by Nicholas Walcote, a rich merchant who fears his wife may be an adulteress and wants to know the truth. Accepting the distasteful task, Crispin tracks Philippa Walcote through the late fourteenth-century "mean streets of London." When he reports back, he finds the merchant stabbed to death on his study floor. No one and nothing in this new venture is quite what it first appears to be.
