Proof copy. 8vo. Pp. xv, 262, [1]. Pictorial wraps. Author's Note, Historical Note, Sources.

An account of a scandal and cover up which threatened to unseat the British Government during the First World War. By quoting from documents and letters of the period and using a novelist's imaginative flair, Tim Coates has vividly reconstructed the life and dramatic times of one of the most beautiful society women of the Edwardian era. "Fascinating... When Patsy's brave Irish voice is heard, with its singular sound and morality, this book comes fully alive." –Daily Telegraph
