A former calvary captain returns to London from the Napoleonic Wars and finds a purpose in solving crimes in this Historical Mystery series by USA Today bestselling author Ashley Gardner. When James Denis is arrested in March 1820 for murder and lands himself in Newgate, it falls to me to prove his innocence. I have nowhere to start but in a dark street in Seven Dials in London and the name of the unknown man Denis is supposed to have killed. I soon find myself beleaguered by enemies from Denis’s past, secret societies, and a host of people who want Denis to hang. In addition I receive word from a mysterious young woman I haven't heard from in years who now seeks my help.
