About this eBook

London 1816

Cavalry captain Gabriel Lacey returns to Regency London from the Napoleonic wars, burned out, fighting melancholia, his career ended.

His interest is piqued when he learns of a missing girl, possibly kidnapped by a prominent member of Parliament. Lacey's search for the girl leads to the discovery of murder, corruption, and dealings with a leader of the underworld. At the same time, he struggles with his own transition from a soldier's life to the civilian world, redefining his role with his former commanding officer, and making new friends--from the top of society to the street girls of Covent Garden.

Ratings and reviews

Can't tell you what I think because whilst it is free, this site want monetary details (paypal / credit details etc). That's not free! The same goes for other titles here too. I would prefer to trial free novels before thinking about purchasing others.

Good historic novel with plenty of atmosphere of life in London in 1816. Strong characters and good plot moved on at a comfortable pace. Interest created on what happens in the future to some of the characters creates a wish to read future novels in the series. A recommended read.

Kept me guessing...and I enjoyed the characters. ..good book. ....I usually prefer historical romance but I may be reading more of these books by this author
