Now nearly a full-fledged member of the Agency, the all-female detective unit operating
 out of Miss Scrimshaw's Academy for Girls, Mary Quinn is back for another action-packed
 adventure. Disguised as a poor apprentice builder and a boy, she must brave the grimy
 underbelly of Victorian London - as well as childhood fear, hunger, and constant want
 - to unmask the identity of a murderer. Assigned to monitor a building site on the clock
 tower of the Houses of Parliament, Mary earns the confidence of the work crew, inching 
ever nearer her suspect. But if an irresistible desire to help the city's needy doesn't 
distract her and jeopardize her cover, unexpectedly meeting up with an old friend - or 
flame - just might.
A suspenseful and evocative window into a fascinating moment in history, The Body
 at the Tower is the much-anticipated second outing with a daring young detective.
