Description
A skeleton in eighteenth-century clothes is uncovered when a wrecking ball crashes through the roof of a Bath cottage. The remains are believed to be those of Beau Nash, the so-called King of Bath, whose body was previously thought to have ended up in a pauper's grave. Bath's most experienced detective, Peter Diamond, is ordered to investigate this historical mystery, but his team is soon distracted by a modern killing during a fireworks display on the Royal Crescent lawn. As new facts emerge about the case, the past and present are fused in a devastating climax that rewrites Bath's history. In this seventeenth case for the brilliant detective, Peter Diamond must navigate ancient and modern mysteries to uncover the truth behind Beau Nash's remains.
