About the book
A brutal murder draws nobleman Sebastian St. Cyr into the tangled web of the British royal court in this gripping historical mystery from the national bestselling author of Where the Dead Lie.
London, 1814. In the midst of a brutal winter, a young musician's lifeless body is discovered in the snow. Jane Ambrose's connection to Princess Charlotte sends shockwaves through the palace, prompting a swift cover-up to prevent any inquiry into her death. However, Sebastian St. Cyr and his wife Hero are determined to bring justice to Jane's killer. Delving into Jane's world reveals a web of deception and betrayal, with each individual harboring their own dark motives. As the city of London gathers on the frozen Thames for a Frost Fair, Sebastian and Hero's investigation leads them back to the palace, culminating in a harrowing climax of lies and tragedy.
