London, 1812. The Bishop of London, an intractable reformist, is found dead in an ancient crypt next to the body of an unknown man murdered decades ago. Sebastian Saint-Cyr, Viscount Devlin, reluctantly agrees to help with the investigation. To Sebastian's dismay, the last person to see the bishop alive is Miss Gero Jarvis, whose already tense relationship with the Viscount is complicated by a fleeting and unexpectedly passionate love episode. As Saint-Cyr's search for the killer takes him from the back alleys of Smithfield to the corridors of Whitehall, he must face the tightly guarded secrets of his own family and a devastating truth that will ultimately force Devlin to question who he himself is.
