When a body is found near Westminster Hall,
Sebastian St. Cyr is asked by the magistrate to investigate. It is the
second body in recent months to have been found in similar
circumstances; bled and mutilated. St. Cyr is unsure as to whether he
will take on the investigation until the father of the victim tells him
to stay out of it.
Aided by his young protege, Tom, St. Cyr sets out to investigate.
Meantime
his girlfriend Kat has been threatened by Lord Jarvis; turn over the
French spymaster or she will be in trouble. She is unsure as to what
she should do. What would Sebastian do to her if he ever found out?
As
St. Cyr continues his investigation, despite being warned off, Kat's life is tossed and turned upside down like a small boat in a storm. As St. Cyr proceeds with his
investigation, he discovers things that tie people together. People who
had barely survived a sinking ship and actions that have led to the
death of many sons.
Author C. S. Harris builds the suspense well in this thriller and leaves the reader with several surprises.
