Synopsis
Rebel with Many Causes
Dismissed from her governess post in Ireland, Mary Wollstonecraft lands on her feet in London. After the 1792 publication of her ground-breaking Vindication of the Rights of Woman she gains entrée to a circle of celebrated artists and intellectuals. But Mary falls into obsession and infatuation with painter Henry Fuseli after his hauntingly erotic masterpiece The Nightmare is stolen. When a young artist is wrongfully accused and imprisoned, and a bluestocking friend is strangled, Mary's passionate nature does not allow her to stand aside. Her quest for the truth will lead her into personal notoriety, a trip to a madhouse, and confrontations with more than one possible murderer.

Review
"Wright skillfully evokes the people and ideas from the age of Enlightenment in her entertaining second mystery featuring Mary Wollstonecraft (after Midnight Fires), which once again shows how Mary's brilliance as a freethinker could have made her an expert crime-solver." -- Publishers Weekly
"Wright captures the character of intellectual London brilliantly... I appreciate Wright's ability to model her fictional Wollstonecraft with the clay of the historical person...not pretending that when faced with a murder she would suddenly become Sherlock Holmes." (Elizabeth Caulfield Felt. Historical Novels Review)
"The character of Mary Wollstonecraft is delightfully entertaining." Mysterious Reviews
"The Nightmare is a thoroughly entertaining book that offers a glimpse of the life and times of a woman whose name still lives on." Mary Ann Smith, BookLoons Reviews
