A Scandal in Boston
Click Above for PDF
REVISED 7/8/26
Synopsis
A United States senator has a secret on paper, and the paper is in the wrong hands. Recover it quietly, he tells Henry Hamilton, and the matter ends there.
But the woman holding it is Irene Renner — as quick as Hamilton, as careful, and wholly unimpressed by his reputation. What follows is not a chase but a duel of discretion, fought over a single question: not who owns the record, but who is willing to be bound by the truth inside it. Renner’s last move will change how Hamilton thinks about his adversaries for years.
He would meet cleverer people. He would not soon meet a more honest one.
Elegant, sharp, and morally charged, A Scandal in Boston is a sophisticated contemporary reimagining of the classic detective tradition. The third volume of The Adventures of Henry Hamilton, it is a novel of political secrets, emotional intelligence, and the rare adversary who cannot be outmaneuvered because she has already understood the game better than anyone else.
