The Lost Empress

In "The Lost Empress," acclaimed author Steve Robinson presents the fourth installment in the Jefferson Tayte mystery series, where genealogist Jefferson Tayte investigates the forgotten maritime tragedy of the Empress of Ireland, which sank in 1914. After discovering a locket belonging to one of the victims, he travels to England to uncover the events surrounding the death of Alice Stilwell, a British admiral's daughter. His quest intertwines with themes of pre-WWI espionage as he unravels a story steeped in history and loss. While it is part of a series, this mystery can be enjoyed as a stand-alone journey.
