โฆ Synopsis
Lord and Lady Lassiter are young, minted and living the high life in the Bohemian artistic circles of London. It's Christmas, 1893, and the excitement of a new millennium is already gathering pace. New opportunities! New ways of living! An end to stuffiness and convention!
But society and business are still controlled by the old guard. Where there is money, there is power. And where there is both, there must be corruption. Lord Lassiter chooses the wrong friends and he quickly finds himself ensnared in a criminal gang within the sophisticated world of art fakes and forgeries.
He begs his father-in-law, Lord Calaway, for help to get him out. Theodore agrees, but no sooner than they begin their investigation, the main player is killed.
Now they're all involved but this is a far more dangerous world than anything Theodore has known before. He needs all his wits about him. Adelia, Lady Calaway, is at his side but they've made powerful enemies who will stop at nothing to keep control of their secrets.
Will he have to choose between justice and his family's safety?
This is the fifth book in the series called The Discreet Investigations of Lord and Lady Calaway. It is written by an actual Brit, so it may contain unfamiliar spellings, vocabulary and grammatical structures.
