The much-anticipated new entrΓ©e in the Sebastian St. Cyr
βsimply elegantβ* historical mystery series, from the national
bestselling author of Who Buries the Dead and Why Kings
Confess.
Ayleswick-on-Teme, 1813. Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin,
has come to this seemingly peaceful Shropshire village to
honor a slain friend and on a quest to learn more about his
own ancestry. But when the body of a lovely widow is found on
the banks of the River Teme, a bottle of laudanum at her side,
the villageβs inexperienced new magistrate turns to St. Cyr
for help.
Almost immediately, Sebastian realizes that Emma Chance did
not, in truth, take her own life. Less easy to discern is
exactly how she died, and why. For as Sebastian and Hero soon
discover, Emma was hiding both her true identity and her real
reasons for traveling to Ayleswick. Also troubling are the
machinations of Lucien Bonaparte, the estranged brother of the
megalomaniac French Emperor Napoleon. Held captive under the
British governmentβs watchful eye, the younger Bonaparte is
restless, ambitious, and treacherous.
Sebastianβs investigation takes on new urgency when he
discovers that Emma was not the first, or even the second,
beautiful young woman in the village to die under suspicious
circumstances. Home to the eerie ruins of an ancient
monastery, Ayleswick reveals itself to be a dark and dangerous
place of secrets that have festered among the villagers for
decadesβand a violent past that may be connected to
Sebastianβs own unsettling origins. And as he faces his most
diabolical opponent ever, he is forced to consider what
malevolence heβs willing to embrace in order to destroy a
killer.
