(Paperback)

Grant masterfully weaves personal and political deception into a taut fabric of historical intrigue in 1819 England ("Library Journal"), as a couples picture-perfect life is ripped apart when their search for their missing child takes them through the underbelly of Regency society.

Behind the glittering facade of London high society lurk dangers every bit as deadly as those faced by combatants in the Napleonic Wars. Into this corrupt world arrives a newly-wed couple who are investigating an assassination that leads right back to the wars and the French Revolution.

Charles and Melanie Fraser are the perfect couple, living in London, just after the Napoleonic Wars, they are the toast of society. But their perfect life is rocked when their six-year-old son, Colin, is kidnapped. They must enter London's gritty underworld to find the key to Colin's release.
