Review:
Book Description:
'. . . a tale that crackles with contemporary tension' Kirkus Reviews.
'. . . brings together the two territories over which Georgette Heyer reigned for so long: Regency England and the high-society detective novel...the young dandy, Julian Kestrel, and his streetwise, ex-pickpocket servant are an attractive pair of sleuths. It's good to know that their next adventure is on the way.' The Sunday Telegraph.
The wry and debonair Julian Kerel makes a welcome return in this sharp Regency detective novel.
