Mystery Historical
In 1814, Atlas Catesby, a brilliant adventurer and youngest
son of a baron, is anxious to resume his world travels after
being injured in a carriage accident in London. But his
plans are derailed when, passing through a country village,
he discovers a helpless woman being auctioned off to the
highest bidder--by her husband.
In order to save her
from being violated by another potential buyer, Atlas
purchases the lady, Lilliana, on the spot to set her free.
But Lilliana, desperate to be with her young sons and
knowing the laws of England give a father all parental
rights, refuses to be rescued--until weeks later when her
husband is murdered and Atlas is the only one who can help
clear her name of the crime.
Fortunately, Atlas is a
master at solving complicated puzzles, with games as well as
the intricacies of human motivation, and finds himself
uniquely suited to the task, despite the personal peril it
may put him in. But soon Altas learns the dead man had many
secrets--and more than a few enemies willing to kill to keep
them quiet--in Murder in Mayfair, the first in a
new historical mystery series by D. M. Quincy.
