About the book
Sebastian St. Cyr must confront a savage killer and save his closest friend from the hangman’s noose in this heart-pounding new historical mystery from the USA Today bestselling author of When Blood Lies.
June 1815. The residents of London are anxiously awaiting news as Napoleon and his enemies head towards their decisive battle at Waterloo. Viscount Devlin, Sebastian St. Cyr, is among them, recovering from a dangerous injury he sustained in Paris. When the body of Major Miles Sedgewick is found in the Thames, Sebastian becomes involved in solving the murder, which puts his friend Paul Gibson at risk.
Gibson’s partner, Alexi Sauvage, unknowingly married Sedgewick, who had many enemies, including his mistress, neglected wife, and the governess he seduced. Another suspect is one of Sedgewick’s fellow officers with a strange interest in folklore and the occult. Sedgewick was carrying a list of Londoners who spied for Napoleon, intended for Lord Jarvis, Sebastian’s father-in-law.
As Sebastian investigates Sedgewick’s life, he uncovers more secrets and potential suspects. When others linked to Sedgewick start dying and evidence points to Alexi, Sebastian must act quickly to clear his friend’s name and prevent further deaths.
