"Queen Victoria has a problem: there's a petty thief at work in Buckingham Palace. The Agency, the all-female detective unit, assigns quick-witted Mary Quinn to the case. Posing as a palace maid and fending off the attentions of the Prince of Wales are challenging enough, but when the prince witnesses a murder, Mary's case becomes antything but petty. Engineer and former flame James Easton has an assignment in the sewers, where someone is making illicit use of the tunnels. Mary will need James's help if she's going to catch a thief, solve a murder and avert disaster--Page [4] of cover.

The Traitor in the Tunnel

When Mary Quinn is ordered to work undercover after a petty thief steals from Buckingham Palace, she receives attention from a prince, wonders at a murder suspect's shared name with her father, and struggles with her feelings for James Easton.

This is probably the least interesting mystery of the series for me. The whole assignment and James's very convenient involvement is just kind of meh for me. But I continue to love Mary as a character and I'm still super drawn in by her attempts to reconcile her evasion of her Chinese family for the last twenty years with the reappearance of that family now and how she wants to present herself in the future. There are definitely still a lot of questions about her father's disappearance to be answered in the next book, because this one only answered a very few for us while introducing more.

Queen Victoria has a little problem: a series of petty thefts from Buckingham Palace. She calls the Agency for help, and they put Mary Quinn - on her first case as a full-fledged agent - on the case. Going undercover as a domestic servant, Mary's assignment seems simple enough. But a scandal threatens to tear the Royal Family apart.
