It's a heady brew that Bilyeau mixes up, served up in the finest of crystalline prose." - Timothy Miller, author of The Strange Case of the Dutch Painter "Recommended for readers who enjoyed The Miniaturist, by Jessie Burton, and The Girl with a Pearl Earring, by Tracy Chevalier." - Laurel Ann Nattress, austenprose.Nancy Bilyeau, author of The Blue, returns with a tantalizing novel about one woman caught up in a secret nightclub that one can only reach through a certain florist on a cobblestone street. Highly recommended." - Finola Austin, author of Bronte's Mistress "We're transported to 1760s London, the silk-design shop of Genevieve Sturbridge, the heroine of The Blue, a fearless, determined woman whose aspirations to be an artist got her entangled once in a world of spying and intrigue, shifting allegiances and yes, murder and will do so again in short order in The Fugitive Colors. She transports us to a time when the divisions between science and alchemy, artists and artisans, and friends and foes were difficult to distinguish, and invites us to experience a new chapter with her protagonist, Genevieve, who must now balance her responsibilities as a mother, small business owner, and wife, in addition to her dreams of making a mark as a painter. The Fugitive Colours proves that Bilyeau is one of the best authors of historical thrillers working today." - Olivia Hawker, bestselling author of One for the Blackbird, One for the Crow "The world of eighteenth-century London comes vividly to life in Nancy Bilyeau's The Fugitive Colours-a sequel to The Blue, which is also a compelling read as a standalone novel. Genevieve Planché is back with another edge-of-your-seat mystery, packed with fascinating characters and rich, well-researched historical detail. "A worthy successor to Nancy Bilyeau's excellent The Blue.
