Returning from a continental honeymoon with his lifelong
friend and new wife, Lady Jane Grey, Charles Lenox is asked
by a colleague in Parliament to consult in the murder of a
footman, bludgeoned to death with a brick. His investigation
uncovers both unsettling facts about the family he served
and a strange, second identity that the footman himself
cultivated.
Going into the boxing clubs and public houses, the Mayfair
mansions and servants’ quarter of Victorian London, Lenox
gradually realizes that an old friend may be implicated in
the footman’s death. Soon a suspect is arrested, but Lenox
has his doubts. Desperately trying to balance the opening of
Parliament and what he feels sure is a dark secret, he soon
discovers that the killer is someone shockingly
innocuous—who may be prepared to spill blood again, even a
detective’s.
In Detective Lenox, Lady Grey, and their circle of close
associates, Charles Finch has created a cast of inviting,
flesh-and blood characters. His evolving series, with its
keen eye for period detail and razor-sharp plotting, offers
readers an unparalleled brand of charm, sophistication, and
suspense.
