Synopsis
In 18th-century London, a young writer of a classic mythology dictionary finds himself heir to a mystery--one that leads to a 150-year-old conspiracy that has kept his family from its share of the rich East India Company. As he begins to untangle years of deceit, people begin to die in ways that mirror the very myths he has been researching. A W. Somerset Maugham Award winner.
