Mystery Historical
Colin Pendragon's reputation as a brilliant detective is
undisputed in Victorian London. But when murder strikes
inside the closed ranks of Her Majesty's Guard, he must
penetrate a wall of silence and secrecy to discover the dark
truth. . . After a captain in Her Majesty's Guard and his young wife
are brutally murdered in their flat, master sleuth Colin
Pendragon and his partner Ethan Pruitt are summoned to
Buckingham Palace. Major Hampstead demands discretion at all
costs to preserve the reputation of the Guard and insists
Pendragon participate in a cover-up by misleading the press. In response, Pendragon makes the bold claim that he will
solve the case in no more than three days' time or he will
oblige the major and compromise himself. Racing against the
clock--and thwarted at every turn by their Scotland Yard
nemesis, Inspector Varcoe--Pendragon and Pruitt begin to
assemble the clues around the grisly homicide, probing into
private lives and uncovering closely guarded secrets. As the
minutes tick away, the pressure--and the danger--mounts as
Pendragon's integrity is on the line and a cold-blooded
killer remains on the streets. . .
