Summary
Regency London knows Constance Tyrone as the conspicuously celibate founder of the St. Catherine Society, dedicated to helping poor women. One wet November evening a carriage mows down Constance outside her office.
Curiously, while her corpse’s one foot is bare, the other is shod in a clean satin slipper despite the muddy road. Why was a gentlewoman abroad in the night? And if she died under the wheel, whose hands bruised her neck and stole her monogrammed crucifix?

Critics Review
S. K. Rizzolo’s ““The Rose in the Wheel”” is a wonderful historical mystery. She brings to life the seamy side of London in the time of the Napoleonic wars, with fascinating characters a gritty setting and surprising plot twists. Penelope Wolfe is a woman of her own time, coping with problems that women of all times must face. I felt an immediate kinship with her. Each of the other characters is distinct. Even people passing in the street become individuals in Rizzolo’s skillful telling.
”“The Rose in the Wheel”” is an excellent beginning to what I hope will be a long series. I can’t wait for the next.–Sharan Newman, author of the Catherine LeVendeur mysteries
