However, an investigation raises more questions than answers, prompting Evangeline and Rhiannon to enter the sometimes dangerous world of the variety theatre. Here they find performers and promoters who may be involved in the Great Game of international espionage, and they themselves are recruited by Her Majesty’s government to uncover the truth.
