Maybe not for you if...

You prefer standalone mysteries where you can jump in anywhere without knowing previous books or character history.

You're looking for cosy mysteries—this involves body snatchers, hidden murders, and morally grey characters navigating dangerous territory.

About this book

In this sixth Sebastian St. Cyr mystery, the aristocratic sleuth investigates a murder in Regency London during July 1812. When surgeon Paul Gibson illegally obtains a cadaver from body snatchers, he discovers a stiletto wound at the base of the skull. The victim is Alexander Ross, a rising star at the Foreign Office who was officially reported to have died of a weak heart. Sebastian must solve a murder that cannot be publicly revealed. Though Ross is described by those who knew him as an amiable young man, Sebastian's investigation leads him from St. James's Palace to the embassies of Russia, the United States, and the Turkish Empire. His search uncovers a world of diplomatic maneuvering and international intrigue where truth proves elusive and appearances deceive.
