London, 1812. At a fashionable address in leafy Mayfair, a far cry
from Detective Stephen Lavender's usual haunts, a man is found dead
in his room. He has been brutally stabbed, but the door is locked
from the inside and the weapon is missing. The deceased is David
MacAdam, an Essex businessman with expensive tastes. As Lavender
and Constable Ned Woods travel between London and Chelmsford
seeking to understand MacAdam's final hours and unearth the grisly
truth, they uncover a tangled web of deceit behind his stylish
facade. The unusual circumstances of MacAdam's death are nothing
compared to the shady nature of his life and it seems the house on
Park Lane is at the heart of a dark conspiracy. But when a second
body turns up, everything they think they've learned is thrown into
doubt. Can Lavender and Woods find out who's behind these shocking
murders before more lives are ruined?
London, 1812: Treacherous gangs roam the capital, and not even the
Palace of Westminster is safe. When Detective Stephen Lavender is
called in to investigate a highway robbery and a cold-blooded
murder, both the cases take a dangerous and disturbing personal
twist. And when Lavender's trusted deputy, Constable Ned Woods,
finds a mysterious severed foot washed up on Greenwich Beach, they
soon realise that these ancient bones are more sinister than they
first appeared. With Bow Street Police Office undermanned and in
disarray, it will take all of Lavender and Woods's wit and
skill-and some help from Lavender's spirited wife, Magdalena-to
unmask the fiend behind the mayhem, restore peace and justice to
the beleaguered city and solve the tragic mystery of the severed
foot. But will they do so in time to foil a plot that threatens to
plunge the country into chaos?
