After their thrilling European escapades rescuing Lucina van Helsing, Mary Jekyll, and her friends return home to discover that their friend and kitchen maid Alice has vanished—and so has their friend and employer Sherlock Holmes!
As they race to find Alice and bring her home safely, they discover that Alice and Sherlock’s kidnapping are only one small part of a plot that threatens Queen Victoria, and the very future of the British Empire. Can Mary, Diana, Beatrice, Catherine, and Justine save their friends—and the Empire?

Critic reviews
"Narrator Kate Reading's intrepid delivery highlights the Athena Club's intelligence and tenacity as they race to save kidnapped friends—and the world. In this third adventure of Goss's supernatural historical series, brilliant young women with unique powers spring into action when their friends, Alice and Sherlock Holmes, are abducted in a sinister plot. Reading's varied pacing balances the perilous adventure and humor in Goss's storytelling, in which the action is frequently interrupted by comments from club members. Reading's characterizations evoke the humanity of challenging characters and illuminate the shared history and strong bonds between the friends. New fans of this series might enjoy this as a stand-alone, while returning listeners will be delighted by the ongoing exploits."
