This is the updated THIRD EDITION. A true story stranger than fiction, A Secret Between Gentlemen reveals the British Government's coverup of a scandal involving great names. Buried for 120 years, and stretching from England to Australia and Algeria, this astonishing history of shattered and re-invented lives has never been told - and until recently, could not be told.A SECRET DEEPLY HIDDEN The scandal occurred in the summer of 1902, as Britain was preparing for the coronation of King Edward VII. Behind the scenes, officials were scrambling to hush up a major criminal case. It involved the procurement of youths for thirty prominent and aristocratic gentlemen, including members of parliament. The ringleader of the group was the M.P., connoisseur and plutocrat, Cyril Flower, Lord Battersea. Considered the most handsome man in Parliament, he was married to heiress Constance de Rothschild. PRIVILEGED JUSTICE So grave was the scandal, it was smothered by officials, including King Edward VII, to avoid "a great national disgrace, and pollution of the public mind." All those involved were secretly granted immunity from prosecution, with the exception of two procurers from the gentry who were quietly imprisoned in a stage-managed trial. Following their release from prison they reinvented themselves, with extraordinary consequences. A third procurer, who absconded, became a Vatican chamberlain to Pope Pius XI! DEEPLY RESEARCHED Meticulously researched in archives across the world, and with the help of living descendants, the 840 page book details the investigation, arrests and trial; and behind-the-scenes machinations. It also sheds light on Edwardian society as a whole, from its highest reaches to its lowest depths. It includes 50 pages of photographs: some from private albums are published for the first time. This is the first volume in the A Secret Between Gentlemen biographical trilogy.

Her mother kept Giselle, a young Air Master still growing into her abilities, isolated for the sake of herself and others. This life left her unprepared when a handsome young man appeared at the base of her tower. But when the young stranger entered her window, he tried to force himself on her. She was saved by Mother, an Earth Master, who hurled the man out the window he had climbed in. The Foresters of the Black Forest were Earth Masters whose job it was to cleanse the ancient forest of evil elementals, and over the next four years, they shared their fighting expertise to teach Giselle self-defense. By the age of twenty, Giselle was an expert markswoman, and it was this skill that she used to survive when Mother died. Cutting her long hair, she masqueraded as a boy to enter shooting competitions, and used the prize money to support herself. But she could not forget the first man who assaulted her, for when that stranger had fallen from her tower long ago, his body had never been found. In Giselle’s heart, she was certain his magic had helped him to survive the fall. Surely, it was only a matter of time before he found her and sought revenge. Was she prepared to stand against him?
