First both Daphne and Rafe must solve the mystery of Donald's death. Rafe has leads on where to find the murderers and Daphne's knowledge of the German language will help. Aside from danger and intrigue, the emerging romance between the secretly married pair is a winning combination for the fast paced and inventive tale.
