The Falk Legacy

The Nikolai Falk file arrived three days later.

Not a message — a secure document, the kind that came through Dante's channel with the specific encryption that meant Boris had compiled it carefully and Dante had reviewed it before sending. Lenora read it alone first, in the east wing room, in the early morning before the house was fully awake.

She read it twice.

Then she sat for a long time.
