Description
Thomas Shield's life is about to become entangled in a web of secrets and lies. As tutor to a young American boy, he finds himself drawn to the boy's beautiful but unhappy mother. But when a brutal murder takes place in London's seedy backstreets, all clues point to the Frant family, and Shield becomes embroiled in their dark affairs. As the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that the young Edgar Allan Poe is at the heart of the mystery. What secrets is he hiding? And how far will Thomas Shield go to uncover the truth? Murder, lies, and betrayal in Regency England - a story of tangled relationships, hidden truths, and the dark underbelly of 19th-century London.
