I can only guess about the story line, but the illustration on the cover is ever-so pubicly suggestive. Is there a Very Evil Woman involved?

I, too, liked A Distant Mirror a lot.

It's an Edwardian murder mystery...she is probably not only Very Evil but the priestess of some wholly improbably Eastern cult....

I googled this to find the plot as I like vintage mysteries. It sounds very interesting. I am going to download the text from Project Gutenberg. I have a big set of very vintage Sax Rohmer novels but they don't have such great covers.
