Manners & Mutiny
Book 4 of the Finishing School series
Sophronia's warnings about the Picklemen have been ignored just as the conspiracy she has tracked throughout her education reaches its final stage. With loyalties uncertain and the school itself endangered, she must draw on every lesson in intelligence, sabotage, etiquette, and improvisation. Saving her friends and London requires cooperation across social divisions and choices that will determine what kind of operative she becomes after graduation. Spirited and satisfying, this Finishing School finale suits readers who enjoy airborne showdowns, young spies, found family, mechanical plots, and conclusions that let an unconventional student prove the practical value of all her decidedly lethal accomplishments.
