About the book
Veronica is faced with the daunting task of tracking down and stopping a cunning murderer who is targeting a group of her old friends in the latest thrilling tale from acclaimed author Deanna Raybourn, a New York Times bestseller and nominee for the prestigious Edgar Award.
While Veronica's partner, the natural historian Stoker, has been away in Bavaria for an extended period, their relationship has hit a rough patch. However, when Veronica unexpectedly appears before him with his brother, Tiberius, also known as Lord Templeton-Vane, Stoker is enticed back home with an intriguing proposition: to prepare an iguanodon for a unique dinner party.
Upon receiving a mysterious message and the obituaries of two recently deceased members of their former group, the Seven Sinners, Tiberius becomes convinced of the impending danger and plans a gathering at his ancestral estate to draw out the killer. Meanwhile, Veronica and Stoker delve into the sinister events unfolding.
As the remaining Sinners convene for the reunion, the evening takes a dark turn. Clues emerge, revealing a shared history among the group that has culminated in present-day tragedy. Yet, what they uncover may be more chilling than anything they had anticipated.
