About the book
The death of a fiendish nobleman strikes close to home as Sebastian St. Cyr is tasked with finding the killer to save his young cousin from persecution in this riveting new historical mystery from the USA Today bestselling author of Why Kill the Innocent....
When Lord Ashworth, a charming yet irresponsible young man, is found brutally murdered, Sebastian St. Cyr, also known as Viscount Devlin, is summoned by Bow Street magistrate Sir Henry Lovejoy to assist in apprehending the culprit. Just a few months ago, Sebastian had suspicions that Ashworth was involved in the abduction and murder of numerous vulnerable street children along with a close friend. However, Sebastian lacked the evidence to prove Ashworth's guilt. Additionally, he was unable to prevent his spirited niece Stephanie from marrying the dangerous nobleman.
Stephanie has recently given birth to twin sons after a challenging delivery. Yet, Sebastian soon realizes that her marriage has deteriorated into a façade. Ashworth left his pregnant wife at his father's residence on Park Street and resumed his carefree bachelor lifestyle. Clues, such as a small bloody handprint and a woman's silk stocking, point towards the killer being a woman. Sebastian is entrusted with untangling the web of secrets surrounding Ashworth's life to shield Stephanie from facing repercussions for his murder.
