About the Book

It's October 1814. The war with France is finally over and Europe's diplomats are convening in Vienna for a conference that will put their world back together. With peace at hand, London suddenly finds itself in the grip of a series of heinous killings eerily similar to the Ratcliffe Highway murders of three years before. In 1811, two entire families were viciously murdered in their homes. A suspect--a young seaman named John Williams--was arrested. But before he could be brought to trial Williams hanged himself in his cell. The murders ceased, and London slowly began to breathe easier. But when one of the investigators, Sir Edwin Pym, is killed in the same brutal way three years later and others possibly connected to the original case meet violent ends, the city is paralyzed with terror once more. Was the wrong man arrested for the murders? Bow Street magistrate Sir Henry Lovejoy turns to his friend Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, for assistance. Pym's colleagues are convinced his manner of death is a coincidence, but Sebastian has his doubts. The more he looks into the three-year-old murders, the more certain he becomes that the hapless John Williams was not the real killer. Which begs the question--who was? And why are they dead set on killing again?

Review :
"An intricate puzzle, based on a series of real-life murders, that indicts social injustices that continue to this day." -- "Kirkus Reviews" "As readers try to guess the identity of the killer, they will enjoy the ride through the many levels of Regency English society this case involves." -- "Booklist" "C. S. Harris at her best." -- "Shelf Awareness" "Excellent...Harris makes good use of the available evidence concerning the historical crimes, crafting a clever and suspenseful plot." -- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)" "Narrator Davina Porter pulls back the many layers of Harris's sixteenth installment in the Sebastian St. Cyr historical mystery series. Her British accent adds realism to the large cast of characters...Whether or not you've read other books in the series, you will find yourself immersed in this mystery." -- "AudioFile"
