#SuspenseMonday a thrilling installment
London, 1813. The vicious decapitation of Stanley Preston,
a wealthy,
socially ambitious plantation owner, at Bloody Bridge
draws Sebastian
St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, into a macabre and increasingly
perilous
investigation. The discovery near the body of an aged lead
coffin
strap bearing the inscription King Charles, 1648 suggests
a link
between this killing and the beheading of the deposed
seventeenth-
century Stuart monarch. Equally troubling, the victim's
kinship to the
current Home Secretary draws the notice of Sebastian's
powerful
father-in-law, Lord Jarvis, who will exploit any means to
pursue his
own clandestine ends.
Working in concert with his fiercely independent wife,
Hero, Sebastian
finds his inquiries taking him from the wretched back
alleys of Fish
Street Hill to the glittering ballrooms of Mayfair as he
amasses a
list of suspects who range from an eccentric Chelsea
curiosity
collector to the brother of an unassuming but brilliantly
observant
spinster named Jane Austen.
But as one brutal murder follows another, it is the
connection between
the victims and ruthless former army officer Sinclair,
Lord Oliphant,
that dramatically raises the stakes. Once, Oliphant nearly
destroyed
Sebastian in a horrific wartime act of carnage and
betrayal. Now the
vindictive former colonel might well pose a threat not
only to
Sebastian but to everythingβand
everyoneβSebastian holds
most dear.
