Hugh Fitzroy, the Duke of Kyle, has returned to London after the death of his estranged wife. The king has asked him to find the members of the Lords of Chaos and destroy them. To do this, he needs someone to gather information for him. Hugh hires Alf, a street-smart boy who survives by passing information for money.

Alf has two identities. By day she has survived on the streets by making everyone think she is a boy. At night she is the notorious Ghost of St. Giles, saving people who walk the neighborhood streets from ruffians and killers. Alf is only too happy to help Hugh with his task against the evil Lords of Chaos. But how will Hugh react when he learns the street urchin is really a woman.

This is another enjoyable book in the Maiden Lane series. Alf was introduced several books ago, and I've been waiting for her to get her own book. Hugh Fitzroy was a wonderful hero. Their romance is very entertaining. The only thing I didn't care for was the "big misunderstanding" near the end of the book. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
