About the book
In this historical mystery from the national bestselling author of Who Slays the Wicked, the abduction and murder of a young boy takes Sebastian St. Cyr from the gritty streets of London to the glittering pleasure haunts of the aristocracy...
London, 1813. Benji Thatcher, a homeless child in the city, was kidnapped and killed, while his younger sister remains missing. Despite the lack of concern from those in positions of power, Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, is determined to ensure that the murderer faces justice.
Discovering a troubling trend of disappeared children, Sebastian delves into a sinister and cruel underworld. Following a sinister path that leads from the depraved writings of the Marquis de Sade to the most infamous brothels in the city, he realizes a chilling truth: Someone from the highest social echelons is preying on the most vulnerable in society. Despite facing opposition from powerful forces, Sebastian is willing to risk his reputation and his life to protect the innocent from harm.
