Regency England, August 1812: Sebastian St. Cyr's plans to escape the heat of London for a honeymoon with his new bride, Hero Jarvis, are shattered when the murdered body of Hero's good friend Gabrielle Tennyson is discovered drifting in a battered boat at the site of a long-vanished castle known as Camlet Moat.
Missing and also presumed dead are Gabrielle's two young cousins.
Still struggling to define the nature of their new marriage, Sebastian and Hero find themselves occasionally working at cross-purposes as their investigation uncovers dark secrets at the heart of the Tennyson family and an enigmatic young French lieutenant who is concealing mysteries of his own.
Sebastian and Hero's race to unmask a ruthless killer and unravel the puzzle of the missing children puts both their lives and their growing love for each other at risk as they're threatened by powerful men in high places ... and by a tall, dark stranger who may hold the key to Sebastian's own parentage.

      In the seventh installment in this Regency mystery series, Sebastian St. Cyr and his new bride, Hero Jarvis, are drawn into a murder investigation that involves politics, King Arthur, the legend of Camelot, and the disappearance of two young children. Davina Porter portrays Sebastian with an upper-class British accent that fits his aristocratic status and highlights the stark contrast between his genteel life and the world of the hoi polloi. For the forthright Hero, she employs a higher-pitched but equally commanding tone. Porter varies her reading for each of the supporting characters, including the more relaxed tones of the servants and the French accents of the paroled officers who complicate the investigation. Porter captures both the gritty details of police work and the subtle romance between Sebastian and Hero. E.N. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine

      Set in August 1812, Harris’s intriguing seventh Regency whodunit featuring aristocratic sleuth Sebastian St. Cyr (after 2011’s Where Shadows Dance) marks a return to form. St. Cyr has just married Hero Jarvis, the fiercely capable daughter of his bitterest enemy, Charles, Lord Jarvis, a cousin of the Prince Regent and the power behind the throne. The stabbing murder of Hero’s antiquarian friend, Gabrielle Tennyson, who was studying excavations at Camlet Moat in Trent, disrupts the newlyweds’ honeymoon plans. That Camlet Moat and the legendary Camelot may be one and the same is a more-than-academic point at a time when radicals are “calling for King Arthur to return... and save Britain from the benighted rule of the House of Hanover.” The couple pursue their investigations separately, at the risk of their fragile new relationship. Established fans will best appreciate the personal convolutions, but newcomers will have no trouble keeping up. Agent: Helen Breitwieser, Cornerstone Literary.
