The Treacherous Exhibit

London 1851, the city is abuzz in anticipation of The Great Exhibition. Merchants, artisans, and industrialists from across the globe descend on the city to showcase their exhibits. It is also a glorious opportunity to highlight the breadth and power of the British Empire.

German-Jewish immigrant Henry Sacker busily prepares for a rush of customers at his Kensington coffee shop. Its proximity to the event means it will attract a wide variety of patrons from across the globe. However, one visitor is most unwelcome. A man with a murky past who Henry last met while working for the British government in India.

The Monarchy is in danger, and Henry’s family are unwitting pawns in a pernicious conspiracy encompassing the United States and Prussia. Henry has to weigh his love for his family against his loyalty to his adopted state.
