It's 1763 and career diplomat Alec Halsey returns to London to the shocking news his estranged elder brother, the Earl of Delvin, has not only killed his best friend in a duel, but become engaged to the woman Alec had hoped to marry. The dead man's mother is convinced her son was murdered and wants Alec to prove it. Alec reluctantly attends a weekend house party to celebrate his brother's engagement, hoping to learn more about the suspect duel, when the house guests get more than they bargained for. A lady's maid is murdered, the bride-to-be is attacked, and a house guest is found shot dead. Alec's investigations uncover a connection between these sinister acts, his brother's duel, a recently raided male brothel, and the wrongful hanging of a master apothecary. Alec is also forced to confront a cruel twist of fate that explains why his brother loathes him and will go to any lengths to discredit him in Polite Society. First Published by NCP.
