Mystery author Angela Henry has signed a contract with Harlequin's new digital-first imprint, Carina Press, to publish her romantic thriller, The Paris Secret.
In a departure from her award-winning Kendra Clayton mystery series, Henry was inspired to write The Paris Secret after a solo trip to Paris in 2007. While touring the Palace of Versailles, she heard a tale about a love child born at the palace as the result of an affair between a French queen and her African lover.
"I was so intrigued by the story that I started researching it as soon as I got home," claims Henry, who says the resulting novel incorporates two things that she loves, history and mystery.
In The Paris Secret, librarian Maya Sinclair's Paris getaway goes horribly wrong when she ends up on the run after being targeted by a killer who thinks she holds the key to finding a priceless book hidden centuries ago by a French queen's secret daughter.
The Paris Secret will hit digital bookshelves in the fall of 2010 and be available wherever ebooks are sold. For more information, please visit www.angelahenry.com.
