About this eBook

Cavalry captain Gabriel Lacey returns to Regency London from the Napoleonic wars to become interested in solving crimes that go unnoticed by the Bow Street Runners, and take him from the mansions of Mayfair to the backstreets of London's rookeries.

Captain Lacey accompanies famous dandy Lucius Grenville to Egypt, a land that Lacey has long anticipated visiting. Lacey travels there for more than a simple holiday, however—James Denis has tasked him with finding an "object" from ancient Alexandria and procuring it, whatever the cost.

The task does not turn out to be so simple. Locating what Denis wants proves difficult, sending Lacey and Grenville exploring tombs along the Nile. Lacey must deal with treasure hunters, a shadow following him and his friends, murder, and missing his new family as he explores the fascinating country he has so longed to see.

Book 11 in the Captain Lacey Regency Mysteries series.
