Her Violet Empire

The Duchess and the Accidental Thief Description

Martin Alcott, an out of work IT Engineer, can't shake his recurring nightmares of skyscrapers and cathedrals. This morning's dream was different, though: he's now certain he's being watched. Halfway up London's newest high-rise, Martin arrives promptly for his first job interview in weeks, only to find the office empty in more ways than one.

Meanwhile, The Duchess, a powerful and enigmatic woman, sits at her desk high in her tower mansion. A panicked phone call alerts her to a deviation in her meticulous plan, and she sees a stranger on her security cameras. She's stunned to realize...I've seen that face before.

A thrill ride fusing suspense, technology, and a touch of the supernatural with cheeky humor and heart, The Duchess and the Accidental Thief is the debut novel from author Scott A. Clark.
