Where Serpents Sleep: A Sebastian St. Cyr Mystery

Fourth in the â€œmoody and atmosphericâ€ historical mystery series starring â€œa troubled but compelling antihero.â€(Booklist)

London, 1812. The brutal slaughter of eight young prostitutes in a house of refuge near Covent Garden leaves only one survivorâ€”and one witness: Hero Jarvis, reform-minded daughter of the Prince Regentâ€™s cousin, Lord Jarvis. When the Machiavellian powerbroker quashes any official inquiry that might reveal his daughterâ€™s unorthodox presence, Hero launches an investigation of her own and turns to Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, for help.

Working in an uneasy alliance, Hero and Sebastian follow a trail of clues leading from the seedy brothels and docksides of Londonâ€™s East End to the Mayfair mansions of a noble family with dark secrets to hide. Risking both their lives and their reputations, the two must race against time to stop a killer whose ominous plot threatens to shake the nation to its very core.
