Description
Sebastian St. Cyr investigates the mysterious life and death of a nobleman convicted of murder in this enthralling historical mystery. In June 1814, London is abuzz with the royal families gathered to celebrate the defeat of Napoleon and the restoration of monarchical control throughout Europe. However, the festive atmosphere is marred by the brutal murder of a disgraced British nobleman long thought dead. The victim, Nicholas Hayes, was accused of killing a young French émigré 18 years earlier and transported to Botany Bay for life. As Sebastian St. Cyr delves into the investigation, he uncovers a complex web of secrets and lies surrounding Nicholas's return to London with a mysterious young boy in tow. With the help of his valet, Jules Calhoun, Sebastian must piece together the shattered life of the late Earl's ill-fated youngest son to unravel the truth behind his murder.
