The year is 1757. On a clear morning in mid-June, Lord John
Grey emerges from London�s Beefsteak Club, his mind in
turmoil. A nobleman and a high-ranking officer in His
Majesty�s Army, Grey has just witnessed something shocking.
But his efforts to avoid a scandal that might destroy his
family are interrupted by something still more urgent: the
Crown appoints him to investigate the brutal murder of a
comrade in arms, who may have been a traitor.
Obliged to pursue two inquiries at once, Major Grey finds
himself ensnared in a web of treachery and betrayal that
touches every stratum of English society -- and threatens
all he holds dear. From the bawdy houses of London�s
night-world to the stately drawing rooms of the nobility,
and from the blood of a murdered corpse to the thundering
seas ruled by the majestic fleet of the East India Company,
Lord John pursues the elusive trails of a vanishing footman
and a woman in green velvet, who may hold the key to
everything -- or nothing.
The early days of the Seven Years War come brilliantly to
life in this historical mystery by an author whose unique
and compelling storytelling has engrossed millions of
readers worldwide.
