Ducal Encounters 01 - At The Duke's Discretion - Plot & Excerpts
Zach said, his tone terse yet sympathetic. “I was hoping it wouldn’t come to this.” Amos felt a virulent rage surge through him and moved away from the hand Zach tried to place on his shoulder. “You knew about this and didn’t warn me?” “Romsey just this minute told me, and I immediately called you in. He had no idea about Miss Brooke being here before today. I didn’t want to jump to conclusions, and still do not, but my first loyalty is to King and country. My second is to the welfare of this district. You said yourself something isn’t right about Miss Brooke. She never told you who her father was, and allowed us all to think she learned what she knows about jewellery from her uncle.” Amos managed a curt nod. “If she knew her father was doing something like this, she had good reason not to reveal the connection.” “Good point,” Zach agreed “And an equally good question we ought to ask ourselves is why was he murdered if he was in league with the thieves? You said yourself, Romsey, if Brooke made the pieces, they were worth a lot more than if any other jeweller fashioned them.”
