Dubbed the \"Victorian Girl\" by the media everywhere, she becomes the eye of a hurricane of publicity and speculation--and a darkness reaching back to the Mingoes' roots in England and to the builders of the mansion, a Civil War arms dealer and his séance-holding wife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoston comic Mark Winslow and the other trustees of Mingo House are divided as to whether the place is sustainable as a museum. Trustee chairman Rudy Schmitz, the brash entrepreneur, seems convinced that the porous roof and escalating rain damage will doom the place. Nadia Gulbenkian, the last of the old guard trustees, is accusing Rudy of engineering the museum's demise. Software executive Jon Kim and a dubious collector of saints' bones and art are pursuing their own clandestine agendas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMingo House itself seems cursed, for its origins in bullets and cannonballs and the family's reputation as regicides in the execution of King Charles I.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA number of people believe its walls conceal treasure, a stolen royal monstrance, and are willing to do anything to retrieve it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this sequel to \u003cem\u003eThe Fisher Boy\u003c\/em\u003e, pierced college students clash with flawed Brahmin bluebloods, and the Gothic with the high-tech. As the deaths and threats multiply, one question resounds: which will survive this summer of rain, of deluge--Mingo House or its terrified staff?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Anable\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1590588576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590588574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Poisoned Pen Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/04\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Stephen Anable","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48518927909119,"sku":"9781590588574","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1824b56e-e9d8-4bb1-bf51-6a6eba690247.jpg?v=1778736188","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-pinchbeck-bride-stephen-anable-9781590588574","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
