About This Book

A suave, resourceful gentleman with a notorious past moves between polite society and criminal circles and becomes entangled in a dangerous mystery that upends his attempt at an orderly life. The action shifts from London to a provincial château, where a stormy evening, candlelit rooms, and a varied company of hosts, servants, and strangers set the stage for intrigue. False accusations, theft, secret alliances, and encounters with assassins propel him into travels and stratagems as he seeks to protect himself and others. The episodic narrative blends brisk suspense, disguise, and cunning with wry social observation and touches of romance and humor.
