My latest novel is Murder on High, a Victor Constant Investigation in the historical crime series that begins with Murder at Cirey. As a military policeman in the remote Champagne, Victor never expects to tangle with royalty--but Her Serene Highness the Duchess of Orléans summons him to solve the murder of a nobleman at her magnificent Château d'en Haut.
