The grisly murder of a Western Indies slave owner and the reappearance of an unhealthy enemy from Sebastian St. Cyr's past combine to place C. S. Harris's "troubled but powerful antihero" (Booklist) to the ultimate test in this taut, thrilling secret. London, 1813. The vicious decapitation of Stanley Preston, a rich, socially ambitious plantation owner, at Bloody Bridge pulls Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, into a macabre and progressively more perilous exploration. The discovery nearby the body of aged business lead coffin strap bearing the inscription King Charles, 1648 suggests a connection between this killing and the beheading of the deposed seventeenth-century Stuart monarch. Similarly troubling, the victim's kinship to the present Home Secretary pulls the notice of Sebastian's powerful father-in-law, Lord Jarvis, who will exploit any means to follow his own clandestine ends. Working in concert along with his fiercely independent partner, Hero, Sebastian sees his queries taking him from the wretched back again alleys of Fish Avenue Hill to the glittering ballrooms of Mayfair as he amasses a list of suspects who range between an eccentric Chelsea curiosity collector to the sibling of unassuming but brilliantly observant spinster known as Jane Austen. But as you brutal murder comes after another, it is the connection between your victims and ruthless ex - army official Sinclair, Lord Oliphant, that considerably raises the stakes. Once, Oliphant almost ruined Sebastian in a horrific wartime action of carnage and betrayal. Now the vindictive ex - colonel may pose a risk not and then Sebastian but to everything - and everyone - Sebastian contains most dear.
