An aristocratic spy and a highborn lady cross paths over a dead body.

In 1811 England, a self-indulgent prince regent sits on the throne of a country at war with France, on the brink of war with America, and facing growing rebellion at home.

Industry Reviews

The thieves didn't just steal a few precious baubles from the guests at Baron Sherbourne's house party; they may have stolen England's future. For among the jewels, money, and dueling pistols was a packet of papers that contain the key to cracking Napoleon's new encryption system. So instead of letting the local constabulary investigate, Lucien Grey, Viscount Ware, is sent in by the British government to take charge of the case. Among the people Lucien questions is Lady Anne Ashburn, whose great aunt was one of Sherbourne's guests. While Anne might not be involved with the theft, Lucien is convinced she is up to something. This becomes all the more apparent the next time the two meet, which just happens to be over a dead body. Expertly entwining an impeccably evoked historical setting and a compelling cast of characters, Buck launches her new Regency-set mystery series on a high note, making this an easy sell to fans of Anna Lee Huber's Lady Darby series, not to mention C. S. Harris' Sebastian St. Cyr books.
