Mystery Historical
1807, Cambridge, England. A young woman is murdered
in a boarding house, and nobody knows what to do about it.
The volunteer watchman who patrols the streets of this
placid college town has no idea how to investigate a serious
crime and the private bounty hunters the girl's family has
hired to catch the killer employ methods that are
questionable, at best. What Cambridge needs is a hero,
and, in a situation such as this, it's very easy for a
gentleman with a romantic disposition to mistake himself for
one. 19 year-old Lord Byron, the outlaw poet, is a
student at Trinity College, though he can only be described
as a "student" in the loosest sense of the word: He rarely
attends class and, instead, spends his time day-drinking,
making love to faculty wives, and feeding fine cuisine and
expensive wine to the bear he keeps as a pet. Catching
a killer seems like a fine diversion, however, and Byron
decides that solving the crime must take precedence over
other, less-urgent matters such as his failing grades and
mounting debts. Written by the Edgar Award-nominated
author of Don't Ever Get Old, which Publishers Weekly
called "wickedly funny," and inspired by Byron's moody, sexy
and often hilarious poems and letters, this dark, twisty
mystery will keep you guessing until its violent conclusion.
