London, 1817

A Bow Street Runner summons Captain Gabriel Lacey to a Berkeley Square ballroom where a young dandy was stabbed to death during a society ball. The prime suspect: Lacey's former commander, Colonel Brandon.

Instead of denying the charges, Colonel Brandon allows himself to be arrested and claims, to Lacey's shock, that the lady he'd stayed protectively near at the ball is his mistress. Lacey realizes that he is the only person not convinced of Brandon's guilt - all present, including Brandon's wife, believe that Brandon committed the murder.

Colonel Brandon's reticence to tell the truth proves to be Lacey's greatest obstacle in his race against time to prove Brandon's innocence. As Lacey's relationship with Lady Breckenridge moves forward, his hunt for evidence to clear Brandon uncovers dark secrets that go back to the Peninsular Wars and involve the origins of Lacey's and Brandon's private battle.

I hate the character Cologne Brandon and how he is narrated which is just awful.

Loved this book except

This series gets better with each book. Lacy is a complicated but honorable man. Sometimes too much so, but great guy.

Wonderful story

I love this series! The different characters and suspects pull the story together.

Lacey is such a mix of honor and truth. Yes the very best!

Another Great one

Well done mystery with plenty of side mysteries among the players. These are flawed people, which makes them interesting. A little too much drama from Colonel Brandon’s bullishness, but maybe that’s to be expected when looking at things from his point of view. I hope that aspect of this series evolves to some settling down of emotions. These stories are well developed, and I’ll definitely move on to the next one in the series.

Very good

read by James Gilles as always wonderfully portrayed.

The plot goes on for Captain Lacey, his ability to seek out and conquer puzzels , and solve crimes is very intruiging to listen too.
He can mix with the high and mighty of the land, while dealing with all kinds of lowley folk to solve the crimes.
Enjoyed this book thanks Ashley Granger and particularly out narrator for his performance here.
