Harris and Kate Ross will be rooting for Charlotte Sloane and the Earl of Wrexford. Devilishly good fun!" --Deanna Raybourn, New York Times bestselling author "Fans of C.S. Harris take note!

A riveting ride through Regency London, from the slums of St. Giles, to the mansions of Mayfair." --Lauren Willig, New York Times bestselling author "A wonderfully engaging Regency mystery, with a most determined heroine and an engaging pair of street urchins at her side.
