Description:
Lady Darby returns to
London with her new husband, Sebastian Gage, but newlywed bliss won't
last for long when her past comes back to haunt her in the latest
exciting installment in this national bestselling series.
November
1831. After fleeing London in infamy more than two years prior, Lady
Kiera Darby's return to the city is anything but mundane, though not for
the reasons she expected. A gang of body snatchers is arrested on
suspicion of imitating the notorious misdeeds of Edinburgh criminals,
Burke and Hare--killing people from the streets and selling their bodies
to medical schools. Then Kiera's past--a past she thought she'd finally
made peace with--rises up to haunt her.
All of London is
horrified by the evidence that "burkers" are, indeed, at work in their
city. The terrified populace hovers on a knife's edge, ready to take
their enmity out on any likely suspect. And when Kiera receives a letter
of blackmail, threatening to divulge details about her late anatomist
husband's involvement with the body snatchers and wrongfully implicate
her, she begins to apprehend just how precarious her situation is. Not
only for herself, but also her new husband and investigative partner,
Sebastian Gage, and their unborn child.
Meanwhile, the young
scion of a noble family has been found murdered a block from his home,
and the man's family wants Kiera and Gage to investigate. Is it a failed
attempt by the London burkers, having left the body behind, or the
crime of someone much closer to home? Someone who stalks the privileged,
using the uproar over the burkers to cover his own dark deeds?
