"Called "absorbing" ("Publishers Weekly") and "beguiling" ("The
New York Times Book Review"), "The Fleet Street Murders "finds
gentleman detective Charles Lenox investigating the mysterious,
simultaneous deaths of two veteran newspapermen, while engaged in a
heated race for Parliament. "
It's Christmas, 1866, and amateur sleuth Charles Lenox, recently
engaged to his best friend, Lady Jane Grey, is happily celebrating
the holiday in his Mayfair townhouse. Across London, however, two
journalists have just met with violent deaths--one shot, one
throttled. Lenox soon involves himself in the strange case, but
must leave it behind to go north to Stirrington, where he is
running for Parliament. Once there, he gets a further shock when
Lady Jane sends him a letter whose contents may threaten their
nuptials.
In London, the police apprehend two unlikely and unrelated
murder suspects. From the start, Lenox has his doubts; the crimes,
he is sure, are tied. But how? Racing back and forth between London
and Stirrington, Lenox must negotiate the complexities of crime and
politics, not to mention his imperiled engagement. But as the case
mounts, Lenox learns that the person behind the murders may be
closer to him--and his beloved--than he knows.
